China abolished the emperor system and threw the last emperor into the jail, what happened to the last emperor of Vietnam.

In 1972, Bao Dai issued a public statement from exile, appealing to the Vietnamese people for national reconciliation, stating "The time has come to put an end to the fratricidal war and to recover at last peace and accord".
Bao Dai still held great influence among local political figures in the Quảng Trị and Thừa Thiên-Huế provinces and also in the city of Huế, the ancient capital of Vietnam. The Communist government of North Vietnam sent representatives to France hoping that Bảo Đại would become a member of a coalition government which might reunite Vietnam, in the hope of attracting his supporters in the regions wherein he still held influence.
As a result of these meetings, Bảo Đại publicly spoke out against the presence of American troops on the territory of South Vietnam, and he also criticized President Nguyễn Văn Thiệu's regime in South Vietnam. He called for all political factions to create a free, neutral, peace-loving government which would resolve the tense situation that had taken form in the country.
In 1982, "Emperor" Bảo Đại and "Imperial Princess" Monique Vĩnh Thụy along with other members of the Vietnamese Imperial Family visited the United States. His agenda was to oversee and bless Buddhist religious ceremonies, in the Californian and Texan Vietnamese-American communities.
While in the United States, Emperor Bảo Đại gauged opinion among the exiled Vietnamese-American community, hoping to find a route towards national reconciliation.
Bảo Đại died in a military hospital in Paris, France in 1997. He was interred in the Cimetière de Passy.
After his death, his eldest son Crown Prince Bảo Long inherited the position of head of the Nguyễn Dynasty.
From his biography: Emperor Bao Dai

Crown Prince Bao Long inherited the position as HEAD OF THE NGUYEN DYNASTY.
Crown Prince Bao Long has been working with Prince Bảo Vang who serves under him as the Grandmaster of the Order of the Dragon of Annam. The position is non-political in Vietnamese politics and the role of the royal family under the leadership of Crown Prince Bảo Long is for humanitarian, educational, and cultural endeavors of the people of Vietnam.
