    Why were they struggling to survive in Vietnam? Could it be because they had devastating wars forced upon them first to kick out a thieving colonial regime and then to defend against a brutal foreign invader and then afterwards facing sanctions and sabotage? No, it must be because the government did their best to organise the economy in favour of the masses.

      Yeah, plus they essentially nuked Chinese support by liberating Cambodia. They were the people that stopped Pol Pot. America and China both backed him. When you look at the history, Vietnam has pretty much never been the bad guys.
