Title states all, Vietnam is a country that fought for it's independence, fought off multiple invaders including 2 industrialized western superpower nations, and now is one of the fastest growing economies in East Asia and is generally speaking seen as a positive nation on the global stage, without all of the baggage that China or North Korea carry. Obviously this is an abridged understanding of Vietnam but on paper it looks good, unless there's some brave posters willing to tell me otherwise?

    China ultimately needs to be the bigger person and mend relations with Vietnam if they want to survive the 21st century. They should apologize to Vietnam for invading them after Vietnam stopped a genocide. It will be good for relations and own America at the same time. America has yet to apologize.

    Makes no sense, they already agreed to end the border dispute (minus S-China sea) in 1991, apologizing won't do anything, as Vietnamese people will continue to hate Chinese for eternity anyway no matter what. The Vietnamese government is always in need to find a balance between general anti-China sentiment, not becoming too dependent on China, yet taking advantage of their location, hence why they keep flirting with people like Pompeo although 1/3rd of their imports are from China.
