In the 1960s the Chinese in Indonesia, who were always regarded as certain Europeans regarded the Jews because they tended to be smarter and ore astute commercially than the locals, were generally massacred in an archipelago wide pogrom of ethnic Chinese that lasted many months. The communists had tried to stage a coup and they, being mostly Chinese, provided the trigger for the pogrom. Southeast Asians generally do not love Chinese.
the VC has always prided itself....The VC was destroyed, killed and obliterated in 1968-1969. Never again to rise. All I have to say.
Exactly. But when the Vietnamese use the letters VC, they’re not just referring to the Southern Communist National Liberation Front that was wiped out after Tet, but to the Northern Communists too. Viet Cong is just short for Viet Nam Cong San, or Vietnamese Communists.
