People who once "hopped on boats" to leave now fly back and stay at 5 star hotels wondering why they can't still be Vietnamese.
NOW!! Not 30 years ago when you claim they became "free".
And STILL they do not have an accountable government. Only the Fascist oligopoly that has replaced the previous totalitarian system.
Robber barons who have turned their state ministerial postings into lucrative control over large parts of the private economy.
Not much different than in China...
In 1950, for example, Vietnam's per capita income was 80.5 percent that of Thailand, 85.5 percent that of South Korea, and far more than that of China. By 1999, the tables had turned, Doanh told the Politburo, with per capita income levels just 20 percent that of Thailand, 11 percent that of South Korea, and 20 percent that of China.
"As for accession to the OECD, it'll take another century if no revolutionary measures are applied," Doanh said.
At the heart of Vietnam's poor performance lay its authoritarian system of government and rampant official corruption, Doanh said, drawing parallels with China.
So much for being "freed"...
