Quoting a news article:
Int'l chess institute to be built in south Vietnam

A chess institute will be built in the southern province of Ba Ria-
Vung Tau to train players from around the Asian region, the provincial
Department of Sports announced.

Unfortunately, "you can't go home again". Southern Vietnam is no
longer the Republic of Vietnam; instead, it was conquered by North
Vietnam, who annexed it to their cruel and brutal Communist
dictatorship.

If there were some way he could help to bring about the downfall of
that regime, and restore freedom to Vietnam - THAT would be doing his
patriotic duty. Acting as a shill for its dictators, helping them to
pretend that Vietnam is a respectable member in the community of
nations - that is not helping the Vietnamese people, that is treason
to them.
