Is Vietnam the Next Economic Power? 

I really think you should fix this issue, it’s quite an important detail

Thank you!

@@pollbun7490 yeah it’s kind of like name explain saying Jackwees

Actually, it seems that Vietnam/North Vietnam and the Viet Cong did support the Khmer Rouge BEFORE they won and took over Cambodia. This makes sense since both were communists fighting against non-communists and Pol Pot fought the French with the Viet Minh in 1953-1954 before leading the 1968 Khmer Rouge insurgency against the Kingdom of Cambodia and U.S.-backed Republic of Cambodia. I presume the Khmer Rouge also helped the Viet Cong, since it's well known that the Viet Cong operated in Cambodia. Thus, there was a very pragmatic reason for the alliance as well as an ideological one. Unfortunately for Vietnam, the Khmer Rouge turned out to be very fascist as well as very communist, and viewed Vietnam and the Vietnamese as an enemy for ancient reasons (and still relevant geopolitical reasons), as well as the fact that there were ideological reasons for them to align more with the Chinese (who supported them even more than Vietnam did and even personally trained Pol Pot in military, political, and ideological subjects) while Vietnam was more allied with the Soviets. P.S. For inexplicable reasons, I am incapable of editing my original comment. EDIT: I've edited the above comment to say Pol Pot started the Khmer Rouge insurgency in 1968, not that he formed the Khmer Rouge in 1968, because I just read that and I'm not what it means. I also changed it to say he fought "with" the Viet Minh, rather than "in" the Viet Minh. He actually did join the "Khmer Viet Minh", which seems to separate from the the Vietnamese Viet Minh, but was also dominated by ethnic Vietnamese. "Fought" also MIGHT not be strictly true, since he apparently was tasked with farming cassava and running a canteen.

@@Mr.Nichan One of the major reason for Khmer Rouge dislike of Vietnam (outside of historical and geopolitics) is that Vietnam doesn’t actively support it, they are more fond of the Kingdom of Cambodia (since the kingdom is quite moderate and allow VC to operate in Cambodia), they doubt Khmer Rouge will do the same thing. So Vietnam multiple times either reject or quite indirect in their support of Khmer Rouge before their take over, which pushes the Khmer Rouge in the arms of China. And yes the Sino-Soviet split also contributed to their hatred as Vietnam is loyal to the USSR.

America could use this for the Rustbelt. Give poor urban Americans the money to move into communities with down towns you can walk to!

That actually sounds really awesome

Lack of Heavy Industry limits Vietnam's development ceiling. If you stay neutral in the current Sino-American struggle, you have a strong chance of breaking into a high-mid income economy. However, if you wish to become a developed nation, it's not easy.

@@tianwong152 staying neutral is what VN has been trying to do.

@@Krasnoye158 It's of ABSOLUTE IMPORTANCE you stick to it. DO NOT under ANY circumstances stand with either power. I'm Chinese but I urge you not to stand with China either. Stay neutral, support your Party, stick to Socialism and you have a solid chance of becoming a high-mid income economy. It's unlikely you'll become high income however due to lack of heavy industry. But military involvement in business is very bad, you need to stop the army from getting involved in business.

The only reason the U.S. gone to war against what is now Vietnam. Is because the French gave the North independence and tried to maintain control of the south. Later the south would declare independence and then asked for U.S. aid against the north. It was a civil war and the U.S. only picked a side to help I don’t think any Vietnamese have problems with the U.S. but i do know that they have bigger problems such as China and U.S. aid can help them a lot. Unless the U.S. just leaves like they did in Afghanistan,

@@darth3911 Thanks for further explaining, friend.

USA only war with us for 20-30 years but China war with us 1000 years, so u know who is the real threat. And now, they still want our land

@@darth3911 well the us choose those ones who are really close to them to become the president of the south, it's not much of a civil war. But that president wants to stop the us from interventing in their stuff, that makes the situation not that good for the us since they want to take over VN as another step of wiping out communism. And then then they have to sign the Paris agreement to withdraw all their troop and they just leave and the south side rely on them too much so they fell 2 years later. The us still not giving up tho:), they backed some people from the south side who fled to america to go talk shit about our country and the gov. The US do hate communist don't they.

Hoa Kỳ là đối thủ danh dự, Trung Quốc là đối thủ truyền kiếp, chúng tôi đã có những xung đột cả 1000 năm.

Untrue. Many Americans are proud of the fact that our country tried to defend the Republic of Vietnam from attacks by North Vietnam and the communists. The US were not the aggressors.

@@mikesiciliano210 🤡 just admit that you lost the war

@@HeadsetHatGuy When the US left, South Vietnam was still an independent nation. It was our goal to keep South Vietnam free. It was only a few years AFTER the US left that South Vietnam lost against a renewed North Vietnamese offensive.

Thank you kind person

Yup 30 years before that they were allies fighting the japanese, 20 years before that the japanese were allies fighting the germans

Vietnam is kinda chill towards foreign powers as long as they aren't messing around VN borders.

Wish you best too

@@balllightning4335 Well it's more like Vietnam has had expereience against invaders for a long time. The Indians has had Tibet, a natural mountianous country as their shield against Chinese expansions for millenias. Up until the fall of Tibet in 20th century, India has had to only defend themselves against their western neighbours.

@@balllightning4335 the only difference here is the skin color due to the different weather in the two regions. in fact, they are still Vietnamese. due to the gradual migration to the south a few hundred years ago.

@@balllightning4335 South Vietnamese looks like South east asian because the old Dai Viet Empire invaded and took over Champa, an old civilization closer to the Siam than Han chinese. The north looks closer to East asian because during 100 AD, Vietnam was conquered by China, and in an effort to subjugate Vietnamese people, the Chinese import the men as workers while deporting their own officers and men to mate with Vietnamese women. The OG Vietnamese had darker skin colour, longer hair and like dying their teeth black, all practices that was lost during the Chinese occupation due to Chinese culture being imported and Chinese standard of beauty and Chinese characteristic in occupied Vietnam. The reason Vietnamese Kinh people are the majority now is because during the 15th century, there was an effort to clear the old Champa lands to the South and various lords and settlers set out. Along with Chinese refugee from the fall of one their Dynasties, creating the Chinese-Vietnamese people who has culture closer to the Champ Vietnamese than Han Chinese.

lol we can create a kind of beer from rice :)) an alliance it is brother

Don't worry, Vietnamese government have promised to reduce pollution to zero in 2050 and the project is efficiently programming right now as more renewable sources become Vietnam main energy reserves.

@@angkhoanguyen6114 Hahaha joke

@@nict5828 Vietnam becomes the 10th largest solar energy producer in the world and the only country in Asia where the increase in electricity from the sun exceeds the additional electricity demand in 2021. Vietnam, along with the Netherlands and Australia, are three countries that have shifted more than 8% of their total electricity demand from fossil sources to wind and solar power in just the past two years.

Pollution may be one of the least possible concerns of the VN govt. It's a nice to have if they're combatting it, but there are more issues at hand.

Good thing the only polluted places are in Hanoi and Saigone

As a Vietnamese, we also respect India because they show respect to us and our leader and not discriminate against us despite our different in policy

I thank you, I love Indians

@@forcyland me too Indians are dope, I hate the amount of mockery they get. And so are the Vietnamese.

I am also pretty sure Ninh Thuan is the proposed site for the nuclear power plant, but sadly it didn't push through... What a bummer

​@@dr.peashooter Every nuclear power plant today is surrounded by concrete. A lot of them were surrounded with concrete too before Chernobyl. Chernobyl wasn't surrounded by concrete when it exploded. I also doubt that coal plants (Vietnam's primary electricity source) polluting radioactive fumes would be any better

@@dr.peashooter nuclear energy is safer than oil, coil, etc.

Indeed, hydroelectricity plays a significant role in our economy.

Chinas long term goal is to annex all lands from all former Chinese dynasties Unfortunately Vietnam will have to fight against China question is when will it happen,

@@darth3911 It actually happened in 1979. In fact, not a single Vietnamese feudal dynasty did not suffer at least one Chinese invasion. Today, China still illegally occupies the Paracel Islands of Vietnam. We always try to maintain peace and friendship with China, but we are also ready to face any challenge if it comes.

it's better than losing your country to a bunch of foreigners.

@@giaopx wow I have never considered that before, I bet Korean war would have been similar? Some Japanese soldiers going and fighting against the USA..

Yes, this is true - Vietnamese writing is based on the Latin alphabet. This was introduced by the Jesuits, I believe.

@@guydreamr ye, that correct

​​@@guydreamryea, I'm vietnamese myself and my second language is french, then english. I know how to speak viet but didn't learn how to read and write(in viet), but I can read some vietnamese words cuz it's latin. But a french person would still have a difficult time learning viet due to the accent which isn't an issue for me.

That makes little sense, the romanticisation doesnt really make Vietnamese easier to learn. It’s like learning chinese in only the pinyin system(skip the writting system), it makes no sense coz it’s a different language for the foreigners(grammar, structure, composition and relativity to the English language)

Beware of brain drain

What about the brothers?

@@MinecraftGuy237 I see countries in terms of gender. I.e. Germany = Male / USA = Male / Russia= Male And I characterize most Asian countries as Female/Feminine. (I.e. China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore) So when I make a wish for Vietnam and prefer to it as a "she". It also applies to the Male Inhabitants. There are only a few of my Asian Sibling countries that I refer to as male. (I.e. Mongolia, Thailand, Indonesia, Myanmar, Brunei, North Korea)

@@MinecraftGuy237 I prefer to countries in terms of Male or Female. (I.e. Male = Germany / Female = South Korea)

We already know it's temporary, the true purpose is to gain and produce technologies and increase the quality and modernity of the dosmetic products, Make in Vietnam products. That is the true way to become more developed longer in the future.

@@angkhoanguyen6114 that's true! Hoping for the best in the future for all Southeast Asian countries. For me as a European, Southeast Asia has every capacity to become a prosperous beacon of democracy in the East.

I think that's why Ho Chi Minh started communism(communism and capitalism are both designed to be a temporary system for transition of a society, not a permanent one) in order to unify people. During hard time in history, people think more about survival and are more vulnerable/stressed. So people also unify on 1 firm belief tomove forward in hard times. It's easier to make people follow simple things, but the same concept can also apply to stereotypes and lies just like the strategy of the nazi: if you want to lie, make it short, make it a big lie, then repeat it until people believe. Kind of like what's going on with some asian stereotypes portrayed as unmanly/unreliable and it started since the 1800s but no one mention it in history just like the war crimes american soldiers commited. But everyone did bad, it's just that I don't like one of them is allowed to hide due to their media at the time. In summary, the mass is very simple minded so it's easy to lie but also the mass seek simple and firm ideology during hard times to move in pack.

The biggest Irony of the Philippines is that they broke away from the US at the worst possible time for their future. They could've possibly developed into the major SEA powerhouse just like Japan and Korea up north. Quite possibly becoming richer than any current US state or territory before officially declaring independence. The positives and negatives that come from having full support of the richest nation on earth can change a lot about history.

@@SuperCatacata Well they prefer the term rather their country by ruin by a dictatorship rather than be subject and economically relied on foreign power far away from them. If they fall it their own fault. Either way it their country what they do it their decision. Even if it damm their country.

Vietnam isn't even remotely similar to Afghanistan, there is no coherent Afghan identity from which to carve out a nation state.

Afghanistan wasn't a US ally, they were mere puppet like Republic of Vietnam, they never lived long

The experience Vietnam had with China and USA will result in trying not to be too close to both sides. Vietnam needs a reliable ally, in case tension with China becomes a real problem. Russia is no longer the superpower it used to be, so the USA is the only reasonable choice left.
