Thanh Nien
Thanh Nien is one of Vietnam's largest daily newspapers, published in Ho Chi Minh City since 1986 by the Vietnam United Youth League, a state-affiliated organization. Like all Vietnamese media it operates under state supervision, and it is known for wide national reach and occasional investigative reporting on corruption and consumer issues alongside general news.

Is Thanh Nien left-leaning, right-leaning or centrist?
Crosswire lists Thanh Nien as Center within Vietnam's media spectrum — the grouping it uses both for genuinely centrist titles and for outlets the major media-bias assessments do not place consistently on one side.
Read Thanh Nien beside another title from Vietnam and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. Two dailies from Vietnam covering the same day will usually agree on the facts and differ on the ordering: which story is worth the top of the page, how the headline characterises it, and which follow-ups get space. Those are Thanh Nien's editorial choices, and they are easiest to see side by side. Because Thanh Nien is listed near the centre, it works best as the fixed point in a comparison — put a left- and a right-leaning title from Vietnam either side of it and the direction each one pulls becomes measurable rather than impressionistic.
