The government of the Republic of Vietnam established in 1955 in South Vietnam, there are also “concerns” about the growth of the Chinese community in areas such as nationality, economy and culture. Therefore, this government soon introduced measures to manage the Chinese community in South Vietnam, especially in terms of culture. This article focuses on understanding a number of measures taken by the government of the Republic of Vietnam to manage press activities of the Chinese community. The research presents an overall picture of the journalistic activities of the Chinese community in South Vietnam, along with initial assessments of the management of the Republic of Vietnam government over the press activities of the Chinese community in South Vietnam in the period of 1955-1975.
