Any Vietnamese here?
(lemmygrad.ml)
Even though our country is a communist country, it's pretty hard to find any Marxist, or even someone that really understand what communism actually is among the average people. So I'm trying to find out if there's any Vietnamese lurking here at Lemmygrad. Show yourselves comrades!
It mostly revolves around cities that were bases for foreign influence, dating back all the way to colonialization. Shanghai was an occupied "port treaty" city, so it was heavily influenced by the British, Americans, Japanese, French, Dutch, and Germans. This has bled into the modern day as liberal and western sentiment is heavily entrenched. Shanghai is also a nexus of the financial market in China, so Western business and money is heavily concentrated in the city. This trend is repeated in Macau, Hong Kong, Zhenjiang, Tianjin, and so on.
Shanghai was also one of the primary Nationalist holdouts in the Civil War, so that also lends influence.
This image shows the sheer amount of colonized treaty cities that bled liberal and colonial influence into China. It is easy to see how 150+ years of imperialist influence can cause long lasting effects.
