from what I read from different sources, including my made-in-america history book, VNCH was obviously created to be American puppet. I did not assume that. It is a fact.
I still admit the present regime's faults. But it is not an American puppet. "Nguy" is the word for american vietnamese puppet, is it not?
There has been no valid document stating that the regime now is an american vietnamese puppet, although it is corrupted
Nguy means something faked.....the commies associated the term w/ the VNCH regime because of their association w/ the USA during the civil war for propaganda purposes. South VN was considered an independent State by America and its allies at the time, except by the Soviet block + China. It had embassies all over the Western world and other Asian nations.
Now, "Ngụy" denoted something faked, ugly, unpatriotic.......I think the behaviors of the current regime fits entirely into this concept.
BTW, your "fact" is but an assumption that anything and everything associated w/ VNCH is bad.
Maybe you are too young to understand it but I hope your teacher do remind you to read anything and everything w/ a skeptical and open mind, even made-in-America books. There are authors out there who denied the holocauste or the killing field ever happened.
Finally, the communists like to lower its enemy to the level of the animal, that way they can treat them as such, not as people who share the same Viet blood w/ them.
