The Vietnamese government in hanoi is always at odds with the Chinese Government in Beijing. The Chinese - Vietnamese boarder war in the 1980s has seen hanoi losing face. Chinese armed forces were all the way into Vietnam and surrounded Hanoi. In fact, Hanoi wouldn't have won the Vietnam War against the americans if its without the Chinese backup and support in logistics and many other areas.
After the boarder war with China, Hanoi had anti-chinese sentiments and even started to drive out Vietnamese Chinese. Many of this vietnamese chinese ended up in the western countries. Until recently, Vietnam and China are still at odds over terrorities and other matters. But one thing Hanoi is good at is to brain wash its people. Majority of its people are not interested in current affairs. They are only interested in the translated Chinese drama serial shown on VTV, HTV and the many other TV stations thru out the country
