Vietnam back on track?

Now they're letting back all the boat people...

Thirty Years On, Saigon's Cholon Thrives Again

Well, I didn't leave on no boat. Let's just say expatriats. (or ex-patriots!)

The phrase is "Viet Kieu", the overseas Vietnamese who fled.

I think the Vietnam market has potential. If the market doesn't compete too directly with China. I'm just too lazy to find a way to directly invest in the market.
"The policy of our government is not to limit the development of the private sector in any way," Politburo member Nguyen Minh
This from a Politburo member! Never say the Vietnamese aren't a practical people.
Hell, everyone's doing it, even China. The only lost cause is that damn N. Korea.
