Watching the movie "Indochina", I feel sorry for Vietnam from another angle.
After World War II, Dutch East Indies and British Malaya established their own countries based on the original colonial land. Except for Malaya splitting into two small countries (Singapore and Brunei), Indonesia and Malaysia basically inherited the colonies completely. Land and became the two powerhouses in Southeast Asia.
If Vietnam, which had inherited the heritage of French Indochina in troubled times, had not engaged in the ideological antagonism of the North-South split in the 1950s, Laos and Cambodia would have swallowed it long ago, and it would not be until the 1980s that the full-fledged internal friction subsided. China to interfere.
In this respect, China has suffered from the civil war for four years, and Vietnam has also suffered from the civil war.
Of course, from the Chinese perspective, this perspective is quite politically incorrect.
