        Also China backed the Khmer Rouge and invaded Vietnam in 1979. So it's not like China-Vietnam tensions are in the distant past either.

          That's very minor compared to the fucking Vietnam War where millions of Vietnamese were killed though and the French colonization was perpetuated. It's honestly really fucking cringe that Vietnamese public has such high approval of the people who genocided their parents and grandparents. Pathetic. Honestly a huge reason I have an issue considering Vietnam ML or AES, they seem to have completely failed at any type of revolutionary education in their youth. No other AES just turns around and forgives their colonizers within a generation like this, it's very sussy

            I honestly wonder why, the US has objectively done more harm to Vietnam during the war and with the consequences of agent orange than China has.

              Unironically Marvel movies, Drake, Taylor Swift, Post Malone, anti-China material on history lessons

      Not surprising at all. China has spent the last 50 years supporting Sugondese separatism within Vietnam.
