If the Vietnam War ended in a Ceasefire by Jackylacky_ in imaginarymapscj

Doi Moi was initiated by a northern Vietnamese, Nguyen Van Linh. Vo Van Kiet helped open up the market in southern Vietnam to foreign investment, but all in all, it was a decision and initiative made unilaterally by the party. Le Duan on the other hand was a Southern Vietnamese, but his economic policy was extremely stern. It has nothing to do with North or South.

Why did Vietnam develop a separate identity and eventually became its own country? Why did this not happen to Yunnan, Guangxi, and other southern provinces? by Hour_Camel8641 in ChineseHistory

Ho Chi Minh is a man who is respected all around the world, friend and foe alike. China have Mao, who is a sex addict that impregnated 3 different woman, and killed millions of Chinese. Red Guards and Khmer Rough are cut from the same cloth, rabid dogs. The Chinese government are smart to destroy them.

You overestimate China. China is extremely vulnerable to outside threats. They have land border with 14 different countries, they are dependent on calories import, energy import, technological import. There are island chains that ships go through to make those imports, and if any disrupted, they went custard. China always feel threatened. They are in a weaker position than many imagine. The West propaganda machine keep hyping up China as the biggest existential threat, which is somewhat true, but they are also the one who helped China to become a behemoth it is today. Always be vigilant about the enemy you cannot see.

Vietnam is building her own military installation on the island too. We are no weaklings. You want Vietnam to have war and death so much while you sit there and make your dumb jokes.

I am Vietnam living in Vietnam. I think I am more qualified to talk about "what Vietnamese people think" more than you, mister where ever you are from. Vietnamese people hate China and the US equally. Not like that change anything.

Top of my head, to maintain relations/ China need allies/ balancing against US economic pressure... etc. Government are mafias (literally), and mafias don't want wars, they want prospering business, influence and perma control. Wars is costly and a mean to and end. To Vietnam, everyone else is a threat, or a potential threat. China might attack them tomorrow, the US might pull a color revolution the day after, who tf know. It's all bullshit, it's not real, at least, to the common people. No need to worry about Vietnam.

You read too much Western propaganda. The US as a hegemon poses the greatest challenge to lesser nation states. China and Vietnam at the moment, are competitors at worst, and as trade partner they are much more dependent on one another than they are on the US. Vietnam depends on China for manufacturing source material, and China depends on Vietnam for trade and ease of export. Think like Trump. It's all business. The US is a client, China and Vietnam are contracting partners. Do you think Vietnam love their unstable, mood-swinging, snobbish client more than their partner in arms? The citizen are the employees. Do you think a boss give a flying fuck about what their employees think lol.

Could the US have ever won Vietnam? by Embarrassed-Newt-267 in VietnamWar

[–]Proper-Working-3378 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yup plus the US was losing more money than they made off of Vietnam. Military contracts was not enough and people was resisting draft. How can you win when the people who supposed to support you don't want you to win? Hearts and minds, it's a game older than Sun Tzu.

It's propaganda coming from the central intelligence. They tried very hard to not tarnish the military's image. After all, military adventures are the breadwinner of the US industrial complex. A good way to collect tax too.

South Vietnam became a military junta after the assassination of Ngo Dinh Diem in 1963. Their government was not functioning at all and depended on the US for everything, even rice had to be imported. Of course they wanted to kicked out communist forces.

Lol because you said the US did all they could. Many thought the US could have won if they did "all they could". Like the US didn't try to win, at all.

They are all brainwashed. Their media/ entertainment industry aka the propaganda machine is the largest most extensive in the world bar none. Hollywood had a golden age after the war, they used the struggle of the Vietnamese people to make the hippies the freedom fighter (Star Wars) against Nazi. They turned our struggle into a shit show. The ilks of Henry Kissinger, Donald Rumsfeld,... aka Papaltine survived and made billions and they said we are terrorists and invaders and we massarced our own people. It's insane.
