Trust me, VN is different from China. If you go live here, you will not have any problem with 'freedom '. Many westerners work or live here even fell having more 'freedom' than in their homeland. One fact, doing business and earning (legal) money in VN is easier than in the West.
You (westerners) already knew and practiced the true democracy more than 2000 years ago. We only knew it since 1945, we could not have the same level as yours in democracy after a night. Same as our politics, it is more complicated than your thoughts and it could not easily change after a night. It needs time.
