Good to hear that you have a little bit of experience in Vietnam. Today is very different to yesterday. I've been doing business in S.E. Asia for more than 30 years. Twenty years ago Vietnam was a different place than it is today, the people were dirt poor and the many that I talked to had wished that the USA had won the war. In the last 15 years the rise of China has made Vietnam into a powerhouse today. When the USA sanctions against Vietnam were lifted about 20 years ago then the country started to improve. If you were there like I was more than 20 years ago then you may have a different outlook. I remember speaking with teachers who didn't make enough to feed their families and took on jobs as noodle sellers or tour guides as the pay was far better. The police were brutal when dealing with anybody who didn't toe the line.

china has become too expensive to operate so now the factories there are moving into se asia notably Vietnam. trump also knows this and was a reason why when he was there recently completed an armaments deal worth squillions.
