I don’t see what centuries old animosity should be overcoming the, within living lifespan memory of the imperialists slaughtering a good portion of your countrymen in a decades long campaign of extermination. That’s magnitudes worse than anything “China” before the PRC has done for centuries back. Cozying back up with America after that is shameful and a failure of leadership and education. There’s no other way to put it.
Okay, then why do you think Vietnam warmed to the US and only recently started having better relations than China?
Ideological capture, market penetration, brainwashing, media bias, failure of principled marxist education to be applied in schools. The reasons Vietnamese people like America is the same reason that people in the Philipines and Thailand do. Money and media and intellectual capture of institutions, neocolonization.
