Vietnamese
Etymology
Literally, “peaceful unfolding”. Calque from Chinese 和平演變/和平演变 (hoà bình diễn biến), ultimately from English Peaceful Evolution , coined by John Foster Dulles.
Peaceful Evolution literally translates to tiến hóa hòa bình ~ tiến hoá hoà bình, attested rarely and used by anti-Communist authors such as Trần Mai Trung; however, pro-Communist author Nguyễn Văn Toàn contends that Peaceful Evolution is a misnomer, hence its nonliteral Vietnamese translations diễn biến hoà bình and chuyển hoá hoà bình (Peaceful Unfolding and Peaceful Transformation, respectively, when back-translated literally into English).
Pronunciation
Noun
diễn biến hoà bình
- (politics) Peaceful Evolution
- lí thuyết diễn biến hoà bình ― Peaceful Evolution theory
