Nice sentiments, cranked out by FDR’s Harvard staffers, but pure BS, it turned out.
It was the USA which forced anti-colonialism upon the word after WWII, with disastrous results. Of course, the USSR was also pushing it to weaken the West.
I am not a Ho Chi Minh expert, but it is possible he was rebuffed by the FDR administration because of USA committments to the French in WWII. The FDR administration was pretty chummy with the Communists, and the communists in France were pretty powerful in the Resistance.
From what I have read, Ho Chi Minh became a dedicated communist in France as a student, long before WWII.
The Britannica shows him as founder of the Indochina Communist Party in 1930.
He went to Moscow in 1923. His biography describes a lifelong, dedicated communist.
It is highly doubtful he would have tolerated the creation of an independent, capitalist Vietnam.

If Ho Chi Minh were alive today, he’d be appalled at how Capitalist Vietnam has become.
In fact, a survey indicated that the Vietnamese people are the most pro-Capitalist people on the planet.
The government just goes along, as long as nobody makes too many waves.
