> in china you cant even have a VPN without going to prison This isn't really the case. Technically that's the law, but like many others it isn't actually enforced. It comes into play when the party wants to make an example out of a VPN provider. Viet Nam is generally more relaxed anyways. The policy has always just been to care about things written in the Vietnamese language. Even foreigners living in the country, posting mildly critical things in any other language tend to be ignored. The focus is more about keeping the average Viet living in the country from becoming openly politically nihilistic against the party. As more Viets learn English and the country becomes more global, we may see more inter-linguistic crackdowns, but honestly who can say. It's well known amongst everybody in the country except the extremely naive that the government is a lazy and corrupt do-nothing. The appearance of effort passes for a job well done for careerist party people in Viet Nam lmao
