Viet Nam still has a hard time with Protestants but that is a cultural problem. Most of the Protestants are Minorities and it is a recent phenomenon with some of the hill groups converting wholesale. The government regards it much the way our own government regarded Ghost Dancing in 1890 and the results have been just as grim. The highland minorities are understood and treated much as we understood the Indians from the late 1880s through WWI. They are on reservations and they don’t stay properly put. The army goes chasing them through the mountains to bring them back. The Protestant phenomenon has the government people bumfuddled. They don’t know how to deal with what seems to be some foreign plot to alienate their “Indians”. It will ease up and the Protestants will be “mainstreamed” in time but there will be a lot of misery inflicted before that time. The pressure from America needs to stay on.
