"Vietnam is closer to the US than China" is just Western cope like how Putler would run out of missiles. In truth, Vietnam try to be neutral to both countries, which means de facto being closer to China than US because they shares a land border with China while the US is separated from Vietnam by an ocean.
This, the core of Vietnamese foreign policy is "never get drawn into a foreign war again"
I wonder if the friendship is still reciprocated in Russia? You never hear about the two together.
I have only seen polls where Vietnamese opinion on the US is comfortably positive ,annoyingly so, while opinions towards China are at the absolute best close to 50-50
