> Try Taiwan or Vietnam - well, Vietnam another one party state, but a burgeoning tech scene and HUGE population of like-minded hackers.

Where can I find those communities you mentioned in Vietnam?

Well, meetup is a good start https://www.meetup.com/topics/entrepreneurship/vn/

Just hit one or two, get in with the local expat crew, and it'll all fall into place from there. Facebook groups sometimes a good way as well. Saigon seems to be the main city for it but Hanoi has crews as well, and they're also spread out somewhat in some of the other cities.
