OH...I don't know. I know plenty of Vietnamese people. Most of them escaped before the fall. Some of them refugees after the fall. Some came out recently, and legally. All of them say the same thing: Vietnam is prosperous right due to a switch to market economy. Before that, they had nothing. They often go back because they still have relatives there. All of them bring money and luxury items back.
These are not people I ask on forums. These are my coworkers, friends, and shopkeepers I know.
