The core is rotten, just like the Chinese Communist version. The 'old guards' are dying off one by one and their replacements do not care for the false facade of Marxism their elders displayed. For decades, I and tens of thousands of Viet Kieus have been financially supporting the underground democratic movement in VN and it is paying off -- in spades.
The effects we wanted are no longer a few degrees out of sight of the public eye but are now visible even in the Vietnamese government where young Viets quietly, if not openly, challenging the Marxist beliefs and policies of the previous generation. Failed policies, all of them. Ho Chi Minh City is have always been referred to by the old name -- Sai Gon -- by the locals even after the war. Government lackeys who called the city by the new name are
NOW openly laughed at. Viet Kieus like myself wasted no time in showing the locals the differences between our lives and the lives of Vietnamese under those failed economic policies. Intel Vietnam was hiring and they offered me good US salary and I would have lived beyond well in Viet Nam. If I did not have family responsibilities here in the US, I would relocate back to VN and would have done more for the Vietnamese people to rid them of the cancer that is communism.
Do not pretend you know anything about VN. But never mind that, it was a rhetorical statement anyway. You are Chinese and arrogance comes naturally to you, even when it is obvious to all the level of ignorance you display.
