Title states all, Vietnam is a country that fought for it's independence, fought off multiple invaders including 2 industrialized western superpower nations, and now is one of the fastest growing economies in East Asia and is generally speaking seen as a positive nation on the global stage, without all of the baggage that China or North Korea carry. Obviously this is an abridged understanding of Vietnam but on paper it looks good, unless there's some brave posters willing to tell me otherwise?

            Pretty true. Chinas not had a war since 1980 but prior to that it's foreign policy was fkn terrible

            For some reason they sided with the Great Satan in the Sino-Soviet split then just funded groups that were anti-Soviet throughout the cold war for no other reason than because they were anti Soviet
