Communism in Việt Nam has deteriorated over the years to something more like a government by Mafia.The government sees no problem being allied to the USA and will do domestically whatever the USA wants short of dissolving their jobs. Clinton and Bush leaned on them persistently to relax socially and politically and they did until 2008. The president who was elected in that year has a very different view of Human rights and such and does not care for liberties and suchlike in the US population or any other population. The USA has quit pushing for reform and the bosses are tightening ropes again. I could see the deterioration when I was back last year. If the USA collapses economically and the Việt honchos think the US has no more perceived interest in blocking China in the area then Hà Nội will clamp down for real because they know they will have to propitiate China.
