In a recent interview with Lex Fridman, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang talked about the future of AI, and one standout point was China. He said China will continue to be a serious AI innovator, in large part because much of its AI development is open-source and experimental.

History is changing
When the Han Empire controlled Vietnam 2,000 years ago, there was no doubt that the people on this land also belonged to the Han people.During this period, the “Han people” were not a nation, but “citizens of the Han Empire”

Having lived 5 years in Vietnam, I am disappointed with the answers. Here is my view based on my direct experience from 1992–98 living there and subsequently doing business from outside of Vietnam with the country.

Original Question Near the end of the Vietnam war, the US had practically won. Viet Cong were surrendering in record numbers, their main forces annihilated and their leaders begging for peace. Why would the US pull out when they had utterly crushed the Vietnamese?
Well, first lets edit this for based on the history as the rest of the world knows it.
Question should be: Near the end of the Vietnam war, the US had practically won. Why would the US pull out when they had utterly crushed the Vietnamese?
Ah, that’s better.
Btw, we hadn’t utterly crushed them, but had made life much more intolerable than it had been the previous 7 years of open conflict. Enough so that the North Vietnamese were willing to negotiate an actual end.

I’m not Chinese but from other answers, it’s obvious they said yes.
This is what a Chinese told after visiting Da Nang and HCMC / Saigon:
“Being to Vietnam once, it was shocking to me how similar these two countries could be, from Ming style Buddhist temple to aunties doing square dance at night. Sometimes I even felt like stepping into a different version of ‘China’ in a parallel universe tbh.”
Just want to add this one more similarity between us. In Vietnam you can also find big mothers and aunties doing square-dancing and having fun together in public spaces.

Vietnam does not have this qualification.
In terms of civilization type, Vietnam belongs to ‘Austroasiatic civilization’, China, South Korea, and Japan belong to ‘East Asian civilization‘.
The main ethnic group in Vietnam is the Kinh people, whose language is generally considered to belong to the Austroasiatic language family, so the Kinh people are generally considered to be an Austroasiatic ethnic group;

Because it never was about anti-Communism.
Gosh some people just can’t get out of their fear of the Soviet Union. It’s been 34 years already.
The US goes against countries that pose challenge to its strategic interests. And the top strategic interest of the US is world dominance. That’s why it went against the Soviet Union, and it went against Japan, and it went against the European Union, any country or bloc that grows strong enough to pose a challenge to the US dominance.
It’s China’s turn since China refused the G2 proposal in the 2010s.

I’m Chinese Vietnamese but not a Hoa (Chinese from southern China).
My parents came to HCMC , Vietnam from northern China (Henan , Chengdu) in 1986. And I was born in 1991. I can speak both Vietnamese and Mandarin Chinese.
I can say I’ve never been experienced racism or discrimination for 28 years of my life.

I will give my opinion:
That is the cause.
The US or French government also sometimes opposes the Vietnamese government. But the Americans, the French and the Japanese for the most part don’t care much, they behave more politely. And some Chinese people keep showing their level of ignorance which makes me very uncomfortable.

The winds of war have changed direction in Ukraine.
The illegal Russian offensive war against Ukraine has now been ongoing for over four years and continues with no end in sight.
But the beginning of 2026 has been positive for Ukrainian forces.
According to the think tank Institute for the Study of War, for the first time in two and a half years, Ukraine is taking more territory than it is losing to Russia, “A turning point in the war”

Hello everyone, this is my first time to write an answer on Quora so if there is any grammar error or problem with the words I choose to use, feel free to point it out :)).
As the other answers point out the general populace don’t really hate China.However if you look at the news or our social media you will see the case is not simple as it seems to be.

Question: Why does Vietnam not want to become a neutral country like Switzerland? Why has Vietnam switched itself from pro-Russia, pro-China, anti-America to pro-America, anti-China? Why can’t Vietnam be consistent?
Answer: I think that your questions are interesting.
First of all, Why does Vietnam not want to become a neutral country like Switzerland?
I think that Vietnam has always wanted to become the Switzerland of Asia. However, the reality is different quite far from Vietnam’s wish.
Switzerland lies between these greatest Empires between France, Italy, Germany, and Austria (Former part of Austria-Hungary Empire) which this country could use one of them to re-balance with the others if it faces aggression from one. Together with its hard terrain, its strong fighting against invaders, having poor natural resources, most of the great powers in Europe agree about the neutral status for Switzerland. It means that its neutral status requires many factors but one of the most important things is that others agree with it. If not, Switzerland could have not become neutral.
So, we could sum up some factors to help Switzerland keeping its neutrality as follows;

In Viet Nam 2025? Almost non-existent.
Most people who are alive in Viet Nam today only know of one government under the leadership of one party: the Communist Party of Vietnam.
Literally, everything in their lives has something to do with the Party. Take it away and the whole thing may not even be able to stand. The Party has become a function of the State: its spirit and it has been performing admirably, all things considered.

Nice! Well done China!
It turns out that China does have some serious heft to retaliate against Panama. And the best thing is, the Panamanians can do practically nothing to retaliate against this. Anything they try is likely to cause more problems for themselves.
Those who have followed me should know that I posted about Panama’s actions having consequences. When they screwed over the biggest Chinese player, the port operator itself, it sent a chilling feeling down other Chinese players in the trade.
For instance, you can see this link to my previous post:https://qr.ae/pCfYTw
CK Hutchinson is a highly professional and respected port operator. Decades in the trade. Operates 53 ports across 24 countries. Decades of experience in Panama with billions invested.
