We already know that socialism is going strong in China, Korea, and Cuba. But we (or at least I) don't hear that much about Vietnam and Laos.
How is it going over there? What is their trajectory towards becoming developed? How much progress have they made so far? Is the socialist ideology going strong there? Where can I keep up to date on these countries?
The AES podcast has a good episode on Laos: https://directory.libsyn.com/episode/index/show/8d546709-2b54-498a-a29d-a0bde330a940/id/25666209
