“Christians....

Wishful thinking. No one is sent to a re-education camp simply for being Christian.”

Not so..The North Vietnamese decimated the Catholic clergy and closed all the convents and sent the nuns away or to the re-education camps, according to the Vietnamese lady i mentioned above...They were persecuted just because they were Christians/Catholics..They were viewed as subversives.

The thread is about present day Vietnam. It is a very different place than it was 30 years ago. It is probably more capitalist now than the US is.
