Ho Chi Minh also wanted good relations with the Americans. The Americans simply refused to have good relations with anything but a vassal state, or the colonial subject of a vassal state.

Vietnam L

[-] CommCat@hexbear.net 31 points 5 days ago

Vietnam is just following China's path of rapid growth, appease Amerikkka as much as possible in hopes of gaining investments and technological transfers for cheap Vietnamese labour. High corruption will follow and they will probably need a Xi like leader in the future to emphasize stamping out corruption.

I hope you're right but this actually relies on a Xi figure getting power and carrying it out.

What happens if that does not happen? Where would China be today without Xi?

I don't think there's a guarantee that such a figure will get to power to play that role and that concerns me.

Ya... I feel like China got lucky with Xi. They could've easily ended up with a line of revisionists, like the USSR. But if Vietnam doesn't, I think it indicates that they set up their society correctly to account for this. I heard they study Marxism pretty hard in schools from Luna Oi, so I have some hope, though.

China already has the tech and capital to provide a better partner for that relationship by now. Although I don't believe China is actually offering it.

I'm not against moving a cemetary for development reasons on the principle of it but this is just cringe

is-this Actually Existing Socialism?

Vietnam honestly baffles me.

I'm mad at my granddad (dad's side) saying some dumb stuff about my mom. I think its fair if Vietnam were mad at him for blowing people up and poisoning the land.

Like my white ass gotta give critical support in general, but please, you do not have to bow for our warlord in chief.
