Accordingly, recently an article appeared with content stating that after the recent administrative unit arrangement, Lao Cai province will continue to merge and reorganize to 34 communes and wards.
This information is identified as not being the policy of competent authorities, showing signs of being created by AI technology to attract attention and cause information chaos.

On June 17, leaders of the Propaganda and Mass Mobilization Department of Lao Cai Provincial Party Committee said that the police force has intervened to verify the subjects spreading false information. At the same time, they requested people to raise their vigilance, not to share, comment or spread unverified content on cyberspace.
According to the resolution of the competent authority on arranging commune-level administrative units, Lao Cai province after the merger currently has 99 commune-level administrative units, including 89 communes and 10 wards. This is the official plan that has been approved and is being implemented.
Functional agencies recommend that people only access information from official press agencies, electronic information portals of Party, State and local agencies; proactively fight and refute false information, contributing to ensuring information security and stabilizing public opinion.
