OP you are a loser, those DMs you were sending were cringe as fuck and I think you suck as a person :)
Hey, I own a corporation in Vietnam. I had no idea I dominated anything.
The economic police verify I comply with the permitted activities on my business license, issued in accordance with the 5-year plan before last. If I'm doing something other than that, I get shut down (that's not a problem though, I plan to continue complying).
My employees certainly have legal protections. Heck, they have government health insurance (which is mandatory for me to pay for, and offers OK protection, and honestly I'm quite happy it's a thing that exists). I have never seen a 'suicide net'. There's no at-will employment : I can't just randomly fire people, I need to provide cause, and it has to be sufficient.
The air quality in HCMC an Ha Noi is not great these days, but other than those two cities, is pretty good overall. I would classify it as 'moderately bad' in those 2 places. I drive through it on motorcycle on one of the worst routes in HCMC (D1 to Nha Be). It's not my favorite thing about life in the city, but it's also clearly not the main cause of lung cancer -- that would still be cigarette smoking by a longshot.
8 years ago, I would have called the air quality here 'good', it's a fairly recent problem.
Anyway, it's not paradise but it's no hellhole either. Ask me anything you would like to know!
I'm also in Vietnam and just yesterday got brutally dominated by a Vietnamese corporation! The owners of a small food stall, a young couple, made me such an insanely crazy delicious hủ tíu, i almost fell of my chair.
my taste buds? DOMINATED!
my hunger? DOMINATED!
my knowledge of what hủ tíu actually can be? ANNIHILATED!
and now I'm infested with ~~communism~~ capitalism and will probably go back there tonight...
Oh that reminds me, speaking of being infested, remember to take your de-worming pills every 4-6 months.
Lot of people forget to do that here, but it's sort of a good idea.
If you like hủ tiếu, there's a place behind the hindu-looking temple across from Takashimaya that's quite decent and well-regarded (this is in HCMC). They use reasonably fresh squid.
To get there, take the road off Pasteur that's to your right when facing the temple. Before all the sketchy bars (avoid these) begin, there's an alley. Go down this alley until you reach it.

I've just spent a week in your city. What an experience. It's truly one of the world's great cities.
Thank you for sharing your experiences. I own a small company in Australia. It doesn't sound so different. Although if we dig in, I'm sure it is.
Thanks again!

I mean, you basically answer it yourself already.
Being ruled by a dictatorship and massive corruption aren't contradictions, it's expected.
The people you've been talking to aren't "more informed" they're a bunch of clowns lol.
