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?

it's not about economic ideals, it's about material relations to production. They're smaller and less hegemonic than China
I def get your 2nd point, Vietnam isnt really big/strong enough to be imperialist (etc.) even if it wanted to, while the same is not true for PRC. Could you expand on what your 1st sentance is saying tho, are you talking about value chain positions or something like that?
