Viet Nam, like most other places in the world, is a combination of 1st,2nd and 3rd world. Kind of like America has Appalachia (3rd), parts of the deep south/great north-west (2nd) and Beverly Hills (1st).
I certainly don't think the guy I saw yesterday in the chauffered Bentley lives in a grass hut lol. Nor do I think that the home-less of my hometown, Boston, have access to many 1st world amenities.

Soviet Union does not exist today and Vietnam is embracing the democratic way of governance. China perhaps is somehow considering some of the views because of it opens its doors to the International Community and adopting rules required or imposed by the IC.
