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?

    people who are very very very very sceptical of china’s economic model turning around and being all positive about vietnam as a socialist project always struck to me as increadibly incoherent

    The US is not trying to heighten tensions with Vietnam right now. This incoherence demonstrates how good the State Department is at shaping Left-wing discourse.
