[quote=AN]Dude, you have no idea what you’re talking about here. When’s the last time you went to Vietnam? [/quote]
I was in Vietnam in November last year.
I’m not talking about the poverty in Vietnam. But despite the poverty, Communist Vietnam is a friend of America and a buffer against China.
Vietnam is an alternative production source for our corporations so we don’t depend entirely on China. Vietnam is now an integral part of the global supply chain.
They are plenty of rich people in Vietnam and plenty of luxury goods. And they love American brands over there. Americans are welcome in Vietnam.
The best part about Communist Vietnam is that it’s not costing us a cent. If only North Korea could be that way.

December 7, 2010 at 9:37 PM #636677KIBUParticipantChina may not be the most powerful force in the world yet, but definitely it’s the most powerful and a growing aggresive force in Asia. Its soft power and influence are what will complicate American’s foreign policy there. Think that the US can buy and retain allies there that easy? Think again, since the US will have to compete with China very hard in this region. China’s influence throughout South East Asia is powerful, deep and complex that the US will find that it can be treacherous and risky endeavor to engage. China pour billions of dollars to the region and has close relationships and support networks of corruptions that can disrupt reliable relationships with the US. China also play the role of supporter of the corrupt ruling class and dictatorship regimes as the likes in Burma, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam, for China’s interests.
Nations there regularly have to bow down to China’s pressures. In an example below, you see that some countries Americans take for granted as our allies: the Philippines, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Vietnam bow down to China’s boycott of the Nobel Peace prize ceremony:

December 8, 2010 at 8:42 AM #636847briansd1GuestVery interesting observations, KIBU.
When I travel in Asia, outside of China, I notice increasing numbers of Chinese tourists all over.
In Hong Kong, people weren’t that fond of the mailanders, but now that the economy depends on China, people have adapted. Same goes for Thailand, Vietnam, even Australia.
Money makes the world go round so as the Chinese spend, more accomodations will be made for them. As the Asian economies get interwoven, dependence on China will only increase.
I believe that America should concentrate on trade with our friends and make new friends through trade (even Iran, Cuba and North Korea). Security will follow.
Kibu, did you also notice the increasing Chinese tours to the factory outlets in Carlsbad and elsewhere in California?
