Black jails everywhere where dissidents are tortured. Religious prisoners harvested alive. Repeated invasions of Vietnam. Tienanmen Square massacre and the subsequent rounding up of a generation in concentration camps. Ethnic cleaning of the Uyghurs. Stamping out of Tibet's culture and media blackout of the mass self-immolation epidemic. Imposition of the worlds worst surveillance-state. The CCP is not China.

My father was a veteran of the vietnam war, an immoral war the US fought against the people of vietnam. I pray the Vietnamese nation can hold the line against China.
Maybe, immoral, but it’s more complicated than that. The US lost the war, but half a century later 95% of Vietnamese believe that “people are better off under a free market” and three quarters have a positive view of the US.

Hmmm.. immoral? That's debatable when you condemn China but the Republic of Vietnam committed many of the same atrocities.
