Phải! Chính bạn hãy chống bọn tay sai của Bắc-Kinh (Yes! You yourself must oppose Peking's lackeys) (Vietnamese poster distributed in Vietnam; NARA title: Viet Poster #1)

A man's head with a pointing hand aimed at the viewer, beside large lettering. The text says 'Yes! You yourself' and, in a banner below, calls on the viewer to oppose 'the lackeys of Peking' (Beijing). The tell is name-calling: Viet Minh supporters are labelled 'tay sai' (henchmen, lackeys) of a foreign capital, with no evidence given on the sheet.
