A lot of Americans retired to Vietnam, so I wonder how much that influences Vietnam policy?

[-] Sinisterium@hexbear.net 16 points 3 days ago

Doubt much. Its mostly just nationalism due to the chinese control over Vietnam and the recent sino-vietnamese war. Even during soviet times, national conflicts didnt disappear.

Hmmm I have more reading to do. Thank you.

I know this is a bit of a generalization but the equivalent of historical antisemitism in south & east asia is anti-chinese rhetoric, especially with the whole merchant culture & spreading communism tropes. Not to accuse vietnam of being that way, but other countries in the region have a history with that.

Chinese immigrants were often targeted in anti-communist pogroms in SE Asia, especially in Indonesia.

Yeah during malayan emergency as well, and the khmer rouge targeted the chinese and vietnamese communities especially due to these tropes.

Not to mention global West stirring the pot, tossing in some poison, periodically, with a Julia Child's sized few splashes of Western freedom fighters.

Could be, turns the question a bit more into a representation of the Americans they interact with instead of their feelings on the American state.
