Description

The Hi-Tek incident, referred to in Vietnamese-language media as the Trần Trường incident, was a series of protests in 1999 by Vietnamese Americans in Little Saigon, Orange County, California, in response to Trần Văn Trường's display of the flag of communist Vietnam and a picture of Ho Chi Minh in the window of Hi-Tek Video, a video store that he owned. Occurring amidst the backdrop of the restoration of relations between the two countries and continuous anti-communist activities, some violent, undertaken through the past two decades, it has been considered the largest such protest in the history of Little Saigon.
