I recently visited Vietnam. As far as I could tell, young people are educated, I saw no homeless people, nobody asked me for cash. I felt safe at all times. Buildings seemed up to code. The insane inequality that you will see in places like India, Thailand or even some places in Europe (London cough cough) were nowhere to be seen.
I understand that Vietnam is still a developing economy, and that it’s still a poor country. I understand that there might be issues with freedom of speech and political participation. But my conclusion is that they’re doing a ton of things absolutely right, in ensuring that their people get access to basic necessities and industrializing in a controlled way.
