I was struck by this passage:
"In 2014, there were 210 “super-rich” people in Vietnam – those with net worth of more than US$30 million. Their combined wealth was roughly equal to 12% of the country’s GDP, a situation that has likely become even more concentrated since."
Communism at its finest. It's OK to be a communist as long as you are telling everyone else to heed the party line.

Communism was Vietnam’s 2nd choice... but France had their collective head up their ass & we supported an ‘ally’

Given a choice... they are a nation of merchants & will adopt ‘some form’ of capitalism...

Wait.
