If can trust vietnamese, then you can trust everybody of any nationality.[/QUOTE]
well said!
Even Vietnamese do not trust each other. E.g. Vietnamese do not trust the VN govt.; or vice versa.
The Chinese Vietnamese bizmen, if given the choice, will never partner with the local Vietnamese in any biz venture. They believe any kind of joint venture with the local Vietnamese is like riding a tiger's back; anytime they can turn around and bite you.
If you're in HCMC, you'll notice in the local Vietnamese restaurants, it's always the lady boss(or family members) who handle all the cash transactions. The rich local Vietnamese don't even trust their own kind. On the contrary, if you eat often in D5(Chinatown), you'll notice quite a number of Chinese restaurants let their Chinese staff handle cash; e.g. the popular Dong Nguyen restaurant(famous for its chicken rice).
Local Vietnamese are great pretenders and good Hollywood actors/actresses(Academy Award winning acts). There are good Vietnamese, but they're in the small minority. If you can find them, it's almost like striking TOTO.
