Reply to comment by laughinggas in Vietnam jails dissident for eight years over Facebook posts by 38384

Are people not aware the Communists won the war and are still in power?

Granted it is not a hostile foreign power by any means but it's still run by the same authoritarian system and has not reformed into a democracy like the "Asian Tiger" countries have for the most part.

Vietnam isn't an asian tiger though?

And pretty much all the asian tigers are dysfunctional in their own way (except maybe taiwan)
