Even Putin himself said that Lenin destroyed the Soviet Union, Communism is over. The old farts in Vietnam just want to keep their jobs, they are Communist in Name Only. A lot of foreign corporations, like Nike have factories in Vietnam.
There was just a recent article where Putin called communist and socialist principles “very like the Bible”, in the same breath as his comments about Lenin supposedly putting a “time bomb” under the USSR—but only because of drawing administrative borders across ethnic lines. Communism is far, far from over.
Companies like Nike have had factories in communist countries for ages. Not because they are capitalistic, but because commies have wanted “free trade” with the USA for ages in order to tear it down.
Goal #4 of the communists was very clear about that:
Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
If the communists wanted that, it was not for our benefit at all, but for theirs.
