Inside Vietnam, a deeply resented 1 percent Chinese minority historically controlled 80 percent of the country's commercial wealth. a hugely disproportionate number of Vietnam's capitalists were ethnic Chinese, despised by the Vietnamese, both northern and Southern.
because we missed the ethnic side of the conflict, we failed to see that virtually every procapitalist step we took in Vietnam was guaranteed to inflame popular resentment. if we wanted to turn the Vietnamese against us, we couldn't have come up with a better formula
