On resistance and reform in southeast Asia.

Historian Sean Fear talks to Alex H and Lee Jones about Vietnam on the 50-year anniversary since the end of the war.

  • How is Vietnamese identity wrapped up with the notion of resistance?

  • Is Chinese influence as great as resistance to China?

  • How is the ‘American War’ thought about in Vietnam today?

  • How similar is Vietnam to China: defying Fukuyama’s thesis by retaining a state-socialist political system while adopting capitalism?

  • Why has Vietnam achieved rapid growth and development while neighbours have failed?

  • How is Vietnam reacting to being at the centre of Trump tariff disputes?
