That's because Vietnam was never really about Communism. Ho Chi Minh himself said, he will deal with Communism after he defeats the French. He only became Communist (to get weapons) after the U.S. rejected his plead for help in 1946. Today's Vietnam is Communist In Name Only (CINO).

I hope that Vietnam learns from China's mistakes. Remember, it wasn't that long ago that China was open to private business, foreign investment and foreigners. In terms of the life of a nation this all changed overnight.

Ken, I have never been to China but can confirm Vietnam is a great country. I have been there more than 20 times, and am married to a Vietnam woman, Vietnam people have been nice except for the few line (queue) sneakers who butt in front of you. That happens mostly at lunch time at the Nhu Lan sandwich store. Not an important complaint. IMHO Vietnam will become a world leader economic powerhouse in the future. I live outside of Da Lat and only experience Saigon on my international trips coming in. I always look forward to "coming home" to Vietnam even though I am an old retired white guy.

I live in China at the moment. The cost of living examples are not correct for China. It doesn't cost $30 per meal here! That's ridiculous.

You are correct in that the graphic says "mid range", however you actually say "just to have a BASIC meal...". Regardless, $30 for mid range is also not correct. For one person, on just an ordinary meal, i.e. a work day lunch, I doubt most people anywhere in the world will spend $30. Please think about that. I have also lived in Beijing before, for about 4-5 years. You can have a feast for $30 literally, many international 5 star hotels have buffet meals for that price.

VN has a TI corruption index score of 41%, meaning VN is considered more corrupt than Malaysia (50) and Singapore (83). But VN is less corrupt than other ASEAN nations, eg, Thailand (35), Indonesia(34), Philippines (34), Laos (28), Cambodia, Myanmar (22). VN must up their scores as corruption is an added cost to doing business. How VN handle the latest scandals will impact her corruption scores.

Personally, I’ve never been to China and been five times to VN due to my Vietnamese wife. To put it short, I absolutely LOVE Vietnam ☺️ However, I would like to see Vietnam give up the communist political system. Its a thing of a past and the country should move forward with rest of the world. Already in practice a capitalist country, VN could do a huge leap forward economically and socially by ditching communist system. But this just my view on the matter and anyone should have his/hers own opinion on this. Cheers! 👍🏻

Who’s care what they are communist or socialism or whatever.

How much do you know about communism. Just because they doesn’t vote like you did one man one vote doesn’t mean they are inferior. Communism had nothing to do with your living standard. Most important is the leader must be honestly serving the interest of it peoples and nothing else. Look at America and EU everything are breaking apart, everything! I use to shop with my kids once a year in America. We had since stopped. Too much crime, everything are falling apart, it’s crazy!

Firstly US doesn't hate in you because you such. VN has nothing to spy on. China's labor cost is high such that China is either using robots or sending labor intensive labor to VN. Make no mistake, foreign nationals don't know to manufacture but dependent China manufacturing. So China manufacturing is either using robots or use Vietnam labor for final assembly. All critical components & materials are from China.

No need to bad mouth the other country to make yourself look better. If you like to make comparisons, to be fair, I would like to see episodes on Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia.

So much absurdities in this video. Vietnam ain't anything like China, It's a small country that does assembly work. It's like China's version of Mexico. Stuff gets shifted there and you import stuff from China and it gets relabelled "Made in Vietnam". Even Trump almost threatened tariffs on Vietnam because of it. Of course you're environment is seemingly "more open" because you're not a geopolitical rival to the U.S and they don't spend $500 million a year on propaganda because if that were the case you'd lose access to these sites quick. It's not the Communist party of China you have to worry about. The U.S launched agent Orange on Vietnam not China. They like using these tensions because they have a project to build an Asian NATO. If war happens in the pacific then none of this will matter and Vietnam will likely suffer as a result.

A lot of misinformation about China here. I like Vietnam, but nothing like the diversity and food of China.
