      The Chinese language derives from the exact same written language. The spoken language itself differs, but you are not correct in say cantonese culture is being destroyed. Over 125 years ago hen Hong Kong had to be given to the Brits, things changed then. But since Hong Kong had been given back to China, the culture is unified back to it’s roots. Cantonese is a language, not a culture. Chinese is a culture and a heritage of Chinese. Think about it and it will make sense.

    I don’t got it about her story. There’s nothing to do with Vietnam war. In 1979 Vietnam invaded into Cambodia to push Khmer Rouge to Thailand to prevent Khmer Rouge killing Cambodian people. Cambodian people were happy return to their relationship in rural countryside and some return back to Phnom Penh, live under Vietnamese military in Cambodia. Cambodian people began trade business again until 1980s notes bank started again. Vietnamese soldiers camping everywhere where in Cambodia so Khmer Rouge could not recapture Cambodia while pol pot still alive. I learned during Khmer Rouge they guarded all the border between Thailand to loss to prevent Cambodian escape to Thailand. Most Cambodian didn’t agree with Vietnamese military camping in Cambodia may be they are former Khmer Rouge only Khmer people didn’t mind Vietnamese military camping in Cambodia as long as they don’t troublemaker, some of them did but their boss took them back to Vietnam.

      During the Vietnam war, The US government bombed the areas that produced most of their crops. It destrey 80 percent of the crops and forced people to the inner cities. Which was an illegal bombing! Which helped the Khmer Rouge gain the upper hand, and eventally took over Cambodia. The Khmer Rouge attacked the border of Vietnam in where they killed Cambodian/Vietnamese farmers, which help started the Invasion of Cambodia. Even after the war, a large percent of the rural countryside were gone because of the bombings, and not including that 80-90 of people that had an education, art, music, and others were wiped out. The current Prime minsiter of Cambodian is Hun Sen, He was a former Khmer Rouge who deflected to the Vietnamese side after the Reds were defeated. Later on they would appoint him in Power and which he has been ruling Cambodia with an iron fist for the last 20 plus years. Him and his goons are very corrupted and pretty much are taking all the foreign aids for themselves...

      @@JeckyJ , regarding Kissinger, if your referring to the authorization of the bombing of Cambodia during the Nixon administration and destabilizing of the country and having the USA man in charge, which I think was Lon Nol. Again I would say the records show that the primary reason for the major loss of khmer lives was because of the bombing. Granted PolPot killed many and did so horribly. To me when I study history, I look for patterns and trends. Example, when the French were defeated and lost their colonies in SE Asia. The west in the form of American came in to try and reestablish a western dominance over the area under the guise of fighting communism. For the west to advance their agenda, they use four types of troops. Usually they use them in this order. Christians are the true shock troops, first you under mine the beliefs and build a loyal followers. Second you use supposed Democratic value. Third you tie them to the western capitalist financial system. Then when the nation is most vulnerable they will use the military. These are just my observation. Something to discuss. Be will.

    The whole purpose of the Vietnam War is not about liberation rather about the stopping of the manifestation of communism to Southeast Asia. In order to better understand it is to question what is governmental system ideology and entities. What is Capitalism, Communism, Marxism, Socialism etc.. each try to out do the other. No governmental ideology will work if there is no other countries follow suit and participate. That is the real reason why in Vietnam, Afghanistan, Cuba, Venezuela and other countries that have or had communism foot prints.

      If you look at it with cognitive-dissonant point of view. Southeast Asians could have cared less for socialism/communism. They were nationalists wanting the European colonizers out of their countries. The Vietnam War mess could have been avoided if the U.S. government weren't pompous. The leadership of the entire region wanted the U.S.' help initiating a social democracy system, but the western view of Asians/non-Whites stemmed from the old European Eugenic Theory of non-whites were incapable of governing themselves. Therefore, Southeast Asians had no one to help them but the former U.S.S.R. Did you know that by the end of the Vietnam War, Ho Chi Minh wasn't in charged? It was because he leaned toward a social democracy and regulated free market system? Simply put, the U.S.' war handed the entire region to a totalitarian system under the name of communism.
