According to (former) Vietnamese that visit Vietnam and have family there, South Vietnam still retains many of its pre-war capitalist culture and roots compared with the Communist North (and also compared with China).
There is also a large now successful Vietnamese Diaspora in the US and perhaps other countries that are familiar with Vietnam and might want to do business there.
- ptaipale 10y agoIt would make sense that people who worked and fought for South Vietnam were originally mostly from there. If they then left as refugees to U.S. and now come back as investors, it's likely that they invest to the places they know and remember, i.e. the south.

- davidf18 10y agoThank you and it makes sense. This is a way that economic development (should) work. We are "exporting" entrepreneurs who use the skills and mindset of the US to Vietnam to help with their nascent capitalist market economy. :-)
