China was severely weakened, and Vietnam got colonized.

We cannot simply be better off with that kind of condition.

Yes same as China, Vietnam had gone thru a century of humiliation at the hands of western powers.
It’s always the case. If you are weak then hooligans and rapists coming. In the case of Vietnam the French used protection of catholic rights as excuse for aggression.
Following a series of military defeats the Nguyen were forced to cede south Vietnam to France in the Treaty of Saigon of 1862.

It was bitter sweet that Vietnam with the help of China decisively defeated the French colonizer army at the Battle of Điện Biên Phủ and eventually kicked them out the country after a century fooling around in SEA. But too bad, then the Western whites just couldn't accept their defeat in battles, the Yanks tried again to fight Vietnam and eventually China too since they couldn't swallow their defeat in the Korean war either. They were beaten after 10 years. The pattern of the European colonizers is the same everywhere say like in North America, on their left hands they hand out Bibles to the natives and on their right hands they hold guns and take away the lands from the natives.

Vietnam has also mastered the technology how to turn the waste into green energy.

Without Chinese delivery of heavy artillery and AA guns the Vietminh would probably not launch an all out assault on the French. We can’t win against a western army without heavy weapons. Possible but the casualties would be too much to bear.

Grab switches to Vinfast from BYD.
That’s significant as the company uses high priced models VF7, 8, 9 instead of Green SM limousines.

That could potentially challenge China monopoly on highspeed rail. After 1 year since construction began, Hoa Phat special steel plant nears opening in Q1, 2027. With 700,000 tons a year the plant can make 5,800 km single-track or 2,900 km double-track rails a year.

This project is very intriguing when I first came across it last year, given that no HSR project is currently under construction in Viet Nam. What exactly is Hoa Phat going to do with 700k tons/year of HSR steel tracks with no demand in Viet Nam?
