The reason why there is corruption at the govt job level in Vietnam is because a lot of the jobs can only be gotten by family members or buying them. The street police (golden tigers) have to pay to get their job and the only way they can keep it is by taking bribes.
US did a pretty good job of preventing that sort of thing with more fair access to jobs.
