Today marks the end of a much anticipated meeting in Vietnam, once the roaring tiger of the Asean group, and a growth rival of Thailand less than two years ago.

The sixth meeting of the 11th Communist Party of Vietnam Central Committee (CPVCC) opened on Oct 1 and has been widely watched by the world community, if not the Asean community in particular.

Should inflation of 20% happen in any civilized country the Prime Minister would have been blasted and have left office in shame. But this is Vietnam.

Beside from the here mentioned dangers then I would not be surprised to see both the chinese and the vietnamese communist regimes falter within the next decade, this is a change that can come very suddenly and with drastic consequences .... China is enormous and there are so many ethnic groups so there would likely be formed a lot of new countries....as we saw when Tito died in Yugoslavia...and as seen with the old Soviet Union.
