Ethnic Chinese lead resurgence of capitalism in Ho Chi Minh City despite former hardships
Article Abstract:
The Vietnamese government's economic reform efforts have allowed capitalism to once again take root in the country. This capitalist resurgence is especially evident in the country's ethnic Chinese community, which is rapidly reviving the economic clout it enjoyed in the former South Vietnam. The community's growing prosperity is reflected in the Cholon district of Ho Chi Minh City, where consumer electronics, imported goods and other signs of material well-being are especially evident. Experts believe that the city's ethnic Chinese, who comprise one-seventh of the population, effectively control some 30% of all commercial activity.

They intend to continue their support despite the flailing condition of modernization proponent Deng Xiaoping. Such an attitude should encourage post-Deng leadership to continue economic reforms and also lead China towards a more open society.
