There is no gender confusion, here.

At least, not the type, which invades places of work.

I’m completely serious here.

This economy is going to take off. It’s already starting.

The economy was unshackled in the 90s and took off between 03 and 07 and has been rising steadily since. The government is Communists, at least nominally, but once the old guys died off the younger men turn out to be Vietnamese and so are highly practical unlike, say, the Russians. When something doesn't work they quit doing it. Collectivization didn't work. Neither did government ownership of the means of production or opposition to the USA. They know that Việt Nam must become wealthy as a country in order to not become a province of China and they know that free enterprise and alliance with America is the way to make that happen. The population has the same sort of business instinct that seems genetic in Koreans. Việt Nam responds well to liberalization pressure from the USA. Clinton and Bush provided that incentive and it worked wonders. Obama hates Việt Nam because of its desire to be friends with America and so snubbed the country which backslid a bit. Trump has reversed that trend again and is a great favorite of the People here.
