I appreciate the perspective. I knew the Chinese government was not allied with Vietnam but I didn’t know about the killings. And your point about the difference between non-rich in rural areas vs urban areas is true in the US as well. In fact, there was a UN delegation that reported finding some of the most extreme poverty in the world in places like rural West Virginia.
