The summary describes Vietnam as having high income inequality, but the gini ranking places it as moderate (and less than that of America) 216.145.68.130 ( talk) 01:38, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
"The oldest Homo sapiens fossils from mainland Southeast Asia are of Middle Pleistocene provenance, and include isolated tooth fragments from Tham Om and Hang Hum.[19]"
This is not even close to correct. The Middle Pleistocene ended around 126K years ago. The oldest modern human remains found anywhere in SE Asia are around 40K years old. http://australianmuseum.net.au/the-first-modern-humans-in-southeast-asia Venqax ( talk) 02:22, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
Found: "Vietnam was part of Imperial China for over a millennium, from 111 BC to 938 AD." The statement doesn't accurately depict the history of Vietnam. It erroneously implies Vietnam had belonged originally to China, which is totally inaccurate. Vietnam had never been part of China before, but after the Chinese invasion, Vietnam was part of Imperial China at the time. Professor and Holder of the John Biggs Chair in Military History Spencer C Tucker, Spencer C. Tucker states in his book ( http://books.google.com/books?id=hvyNAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA6&lpg=PA6&dq=111+BC+to+938+AD,+vietnam&source=bl&ots=ZI78puaTtA&sig=bI15k6BdzP2Rj-xAB89FUyvZnEw&hl=en&sa=X&ei=Zf6lU-2UBrHo8AHSr4GgCA&ved=0CEkQ6AEwBw#v=onepage&q=111%20BC%20to%20938%20AD%2C%20vietnam). That statement should be read: " Governgov ( talk) 22:11, 21 June 2014 (UTC)After the Chinese invasion, Vietnam was part of Imperial China for over a millennium, from 111 BC to 938 AD."
This sounds strange to me as well, and I am neither Chinese nor Vietnamese. China has never existed as a continuous political entity for more than a millennium, and this sounds like an attempt to claim a history of modern, Communist China that does not exist. It would be like claiming that the United States actually existed for as long as there were humans in North America and then calling that period the Anarchic United States or the "Era of Warring Tribes" of the United States. The reality is that the political entity known as the United States did not exist until the Constitution was implemented. Similarly, China did not exist until the Ming's inherited (seized) the Chinese portion of the Mongol Empire in the 1400's. China before then was simply an amalgam of various independent kingdoms that have long since passed into oblivion. Calling them "China" would be like calling Europe today Roman. It's almost the reverse of the one-drop rule that we use to categorize Americans into whites and non-whites: if any territory is inside China, then its history is "Chinese." Florida is now a part of the United States, but the U.S. doesn't claim that Spain and its former empire are part of American history. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.153.130.131 ( talk) 07:11, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
Will it be better if one were to say that what is modern Vietnam was for a millennium part of the Chinese state? This is an important point, that it was part of A Chinese state, unlike Korea which was a vassal state/tributary state of Imperial China. It doesn't imply that Vietnam BELONGS to China, merely that it was PART of China. Just like Eire was part of Great Britain, but it is controversial to say that it BELONGS to China Historicalchild ( talk) 16:31, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

Why is the Communist Party General Secretary listed first and the President listed second? According to Syntax in Template:Infobox country, the first leader listed is usually the head of state's (wikilinked) title, e.g. "President", "Monarch". -- WikiWinters ( talk) 20:36, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
The two audio files at the top of the article have been transcribed similarly with /ɑː/, though the second, the native Vietnamese one, is clearly /æ/. So I've edited the second accordingly: the vowel value now matches that further down in the Etymology section.
The article currently gives most prominence to the US pron, /ɑː/. My judgment is that the Vietnamese pron should be the first mentioned. Spicemix ( talk) 17:50, 1 May 2014 (UTC)

to "Ethnic groups 85.7% Viet"
Because there's not any ethnic group which is named Vietnamese, and this name could be make misunderstand with all Vietnamese people. In Vietnam, we named the main ethnic group is "Kinh" or "Viet", maybe "Viet" is more common and easy for foreign to understand, but not Vietnamese. Thank you.

Talk 16:10, 17 June 2014 (UTC)I think this is problematic, since the main article on the ethnic group is called Vietnamese people but I agree the OP is correct (Kinh is also bolded in the lead in the main article). This seems to me to be plainly analogous to Cambodian vs Khmer, Laotian vs Lao and Burmese vs Burman. bridies ( talk) 18:46, 17 June 2014 (UTC)
Give me one example of socialist states which hasn't had single-party rule post-1917 then @ Bridies:. -- TIAYN ( talk) 09:18, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
A state can have socialism or socialist principles in its constitution no matter its political plurality. Then any part is consititutionally bound to uphold certain virtues just like any party in America (and its de facto two party system) is bound to uphold its virtues. Of course sometimes constitutions are ignored. Just like it partly was in the USSR and partly is today in the US. Other reasons which make Vietnam a socialist country but still a single-party state is the states regulation and ownership of the economy which actually is growing and the way the result of this economic activiity benefits the people (after corruption) instead of single individuals or groups of them as under oligarchy or fascism. 79.136.64.95 ( talk) 03:54, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

Thhir government prefers rendering of Viet Nam — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.242.81.170 ( talk) 05:33, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
My edit was essentially reverted without explanation in any edit summary. What I had edited was the statement of the official name, not the name by which widely known in the U.S. (and perhaps in some other nations). The official name is that given by the nation's government, including in translation, because that government knows what its own nation is called. That can be seen on the Vietnamese government's website, in English, at http://www.vietnam.gov.vn/portal/page/portal/English (the same URL as that given above). What basis is there for reverting? For example, is there a source for the spaceless form as being official by the Vietnamese government?
International custom in naming Vietnam is not universally spaceless. Searches of the official or semi-official news agency of the People's Republic of China show both forms: the spaced form vs. the spaceless form. However, this is about the official form, and that would come from Vietnam's government, not someone else's.
The redirect proposed was already done, I think in 2017.

1) Note #2 in this section begins, "Neither the United States government nor Ngô Đình Diệm's State of Vietnam signed anything at the 1954 Geneva Conference." There was no reason to expect Diệm's regime would sign anything at the Geneva accords because 1) Diệm's government did not exist yet, nor did any nation of South Vietnam, by any name, 2) the French were still the official rulers of Vietnam at the negotiations, and 3) Diệm did not seize power until after the agreements were all signed. Diệm was not a party, nor was the US. Saying Diệm and the US were not signatories and disagreed with the agreement between the French and the Viet Minh was a common excuse used by Diệm and US leaders to absolve Diệm and the US for interfering with an agreement to which they were not parties. Diệm created a nation that did not exist by overthrowing the French-supported Emperor Bảo Đại and seceding the South from the rest of Vietnam. That secession is what absolved the Diệm regime from having to hold elections, not the fact that he hadn't signed off on the Geneva Accords (which are the source for this).
2) The article then states, "Two states formed after the partition – Ho Chi Minh's Democratic Republic of Vietnam in the north and Emperor Bảo Đại's State of Vietnam in the south." This is simply not true, and it reflects a bias to legitimize the nonexistent statehood of South Vietnam after the Geneva Conference. These were not the names of actual states, nor were they created at the Geneva Conference. There was only one Vietnam after the Geneva Accords. Until the South seceded, the North and the South were referred to as "regrouping zones" and "the northern and southern zones of Viet-Nam" in the Geneva Accords and in American documents (see the Pentagon Papers). Each zone was administered by the opposing parties within the nation of Vietnam. The Geneva Declaration also says "the military demarcation line should not in any way be interpreted as constituting a political or territorial boundary." South Vietnam was not even claimed to be a nation until the year after the Accords were signed and Diệm overthrew the governing authorities of the southern administrative zone. This is all spelled out clearly in the Geneva Accords, which stand as THE authoritative RS for all of this. Other sources reflect the interpretations of their authors. That's ok, but it's not history.
3) The responsibility for enforcing these terms rested with the French and People's Army Commanders [Art. 22]. The French and the People's Army (Viet Minh) signed off on this. It's incorrect and divisive for us to say that two states were formed until after Diệm's coup. (This reflects a bias in favor of the South, and against the Communists.) The French were required to enforce adherence to the agreements but simply abandoned its responsibility without even asking for help. The People's Army Commanders did their part. This section must, IMO, describe the role of the French after the Geneva Conference, as they are one of the two warring parties described in this section and the major party to the agreement. This reflects a Western bias IMO. Again, the Accords are the source for their responsibility.
4) Further NPOV problems follow in that same paragraph, where it states that "almost a million northerners, mainly Catholics, moved south, fearing persecution by the communists." While the number is true, there is no statement of the hundreds of thousands of people who moved to the North during the same time, fearing whatever they feared from the regime in the South. This again reflects an anti-North bias.
This war ended 40 years ago. Can we put aside our partisan rhetoric and report the facts here? Emotions still run very deep, but we still need to be neutral on these issues, and I think it's time we tried. The Communist North won. They're doing ok. Dcs002 ( talk) 04:07, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

In the part: "Administrative subdivisions", now it has a sentence: "Vietnam is divided into 58 provinces (Vietnamese: tỉnh, from the Chinese 省, shěng). " Please edit this sentence to: "Vietnam is divided into 58 provinces (Vietnamese: tỉnh)."
Because I think there is not any reason to give an explanation in Chinese language here, neither the origin of any word in other language except Vietnamese. This is an article about Vietnam and it's written in English, there's not any related to Chinese language here (this article is not about language, not about the etymology). Thank you.

One of the Notes near the bottom of the article has this: >The non-communist Vietnamese delegation objected strenuously to any division of Vietnam, however, the French accepted the proposal Viet Minh proposal, that Vietnam be united by elections under the supervision of "local commissions".
There are two changes I am requesting:
Put semicolon, not comma, immediately before "however" (this assumes that "however" belongs with the FOLLOWING, not the preceding, part of the remark.
Remove "proposal" occurring just BEFORE "Viet Minh". 128.63.16.47 ( talk) 20:02, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
In the info box, the information next to religion says "Vietnamese folk religion". While this may be the majority religion in Vietnam, there is no reason to include religion in the info box if Vietnam is a secular state. For example, neither of the info boxes for USA and PRC on their respective pages include religion, as both of them are secular states. I will be removing religion from the info box on this page.-- Fischia Il Vento ( talk) 18:44, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
Huh? The info box for the US very clearly includes religion. Religion (2017[7]) 69% Christian 24% Unaffiliated 3% Unanswered 2% Jewish 1% Muslim 1% Buddhist 1% Hindu 1% Other
The info is relevant to what religions the population practice, not what, if any, the government recognizes or promotes. It's a common piece of demographic data, just like language and ethnicity. The US does not have an official language or an official ethnicity, either. This is just silly. Venqax ( talk) 21:52, 19 June 2018 (UTC)

In 1945 the whole French Indochina, of which all 3 states of Vietnam (Annam, Cochinchina and Tonkin) belong, was under Japan rules. So, how were they able to declare independence from France?!
Particularly when the History section reads in parts: "Japan exploited Vietnam[...], culminating in a full-scale takeover of the country in March 1945..." and "Following the military defeat of Japan and the fall of its puppet Empire of Vietnam in August 1945, the Viet Minh occupied Hanoi and proclaimed a provisional government, which asserted national independence on 2 September."
Any sharp reader should be able to see that the info in the Infobox flies against those in the History section, as they are. Shouldn't an edit be made to reconcile the two?
The article states as of 21 July 2016:
The Socialist Republic of Vietnam, along with China, Cuba, and Laos, is one of the world's four remaining one-party socialist states officially espousing communism.
What happened to North Korea? Is it not a socialist state officially espousing communism? Is there no party in North Korea like the CP in China? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.103.38.131 ( talk) 19:45, 21 July 2016 (UTC)
"A Western-style system of modern education was developed..."
While not entirely false, this is misleading in the extreme. Such education was only available to collaborationist elite, mostly Catholic, but not necessarily. For the rest of the populace? the overt policy was obscurantism, the infamous "chính sách ngu dân" ("stupid-people policy") (as enumerated by Ho Chi Minh among the offenses of the French, in the Declaration of Independence) – under which people like my wife's grandparents (for one concrete example), if discovered trying to study anything, including simply literacy in the Vietnamese language, could be beaten, tortured, even killed (they were, except for the last).

After World War II, Vietnam surrendered to United Kingdom in the South and to the Republic of China in the north. General Lu Han represented the Chinese Nationalist Army to accept the Japanese defeat in Vietnam on August 15, 1945.

We all know Nguyễn Phú Trọng is the de facto supreme leader of Vietnam, but since May 2016, he has been absent from the infobox of this article. Template:Infobox_country says the first leader in the infobox should 'usually' be the head of state, not always. There are only five communist states in the world, and Vietnam is the only state out of the five that the supreme leader isn't holding the office of the head of state, I think a special case should be allowed. And no one has said everybody in the infobox should be the de jure offices of state. So why we can't re-add him to the infobox?
There is another similar example, that is Iran, the supreme leader of Iran is exactly in the infobox.

@ Huyle92: On 2017-11-17, User:Huyle92 changed the "Executive" section to say that it included five deputy prime ministers; it had previously said three. Where should someone go to check the number of deputy prime ministers? I assume it's accurate, and User:Huyle92 probably is probably correct. However, something like this that obviously has a correct answer should also have a citation in <ref>...</ref>. It might also be interesting to include in the note if it used to be three and was changed to five on a certain date -- giving the date and documentation of the change. Then if someone else has a source that says Vietnam has only three deputy prime ministers, Wikipedia can help clarify the discrepancy.
I wish to thank User:Huyle92 for making this change -- assuming it is correct. If User:Huyle92 made this change "from personal knowledge", without having a citation, that could be a problem -- especially if other sources say it has [or had] three deputy prime ministers.

@ David ngoviet: Your addition of the photo of Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan 2012.jpg makes the article visually more attractive and symbolically acknowledges a role for women in the affairs of the state.
However, I note that her title is listed in the infobox at the top as "Chairwoman of National Assembly" and with her picture later as "Chairman of the National Assembly of Vietnam". Might it be appropriate to shorten both to "Chair of the National Assembly"?
If she has an official English-language title, then that should be used: At least one of "Chairwoman" and "Chairman" is wrong. However, if her official title is translated differently by different people, then the gender-neutral term "Chair" might be more appropriate, I think.
And the "of Vietnam" could easily be dropped as redundant, because it should be obvious from the context.

Hello, 106.223.180.101: The "semi-protected" box says, 'This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".' I don't see either "X" or "Y". Therefore, I am changing "answered = no" to "yes". If you do not like this, please be more specific, as requested in the documentation at Template:Edit semi-protected/testcases. DavidMCEddy ( talk) 20:37, 3 January 2018 (UTC)

As of 2018-01-13 the first subsection of the section on "Science and technology" was headed "e". It's contents consisted solely in a redirect {{See also|Science and technology in Vietnam}}. The "e" subheading seems odd and superfluous to me. I am deleting it. If someone else thinks it is needed, the subsection should contain more than just a redirect, and it's contents should explain the meaning of the heading.

Should put in Nguyễn Phú Trọng's name as "General Secretary" on the "Government" section of the country infobox. As a Leninist one-party state, Trọng is the most powerful leader in Vietnam and ranked first in the party's Politburo above the Prime Minister and the President. Tonyn31 ( talk) 23:04, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
General Secretary is the real head of state of Vietnam. Everyone knows that.
Even your articles General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam (featured article) and Nguyễn Phú Trọng say so.
Yet here in the article about Vietnam General Secretary ISN'T EVEN MENTIONED IN THE INFOBOX!! I mean, how is this possible? Did anyone with any knowledge of Vietnam proof-read this article? It's not like we are talking about some conspiracy theory or anything. It's absolutely official that the General secretary is the head of state.
So please, if you have the rights, add the position of the general secretary and the current holder Nguyễn Phú Trọng. He should be positioned above the president and others in the infobox.
Big thanks in advance. Cheers. Naj'entus ( talk) 19:57, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

Việt 越 and Âu 歐 are homophones in the Han Dynasty and before, serving as transcriptions of Jiang - Zhe words by Chinese characters; originally and literally they mean water or water area, and their derivative sense is Country. They are similar to the word Quốc, which means earth/land/soil, and the derivative meaning of which is Country. Accordingly it can be inferred that Vietnam means Southern Country or Southern Land.

@ Jannaalo: @ TaerkastUA: @ Gorrrillla5: Can we please have a discussion here about which leaders should be listed in what order? This has been changed fairly recently in seemingly conflicting ways. Can we discuss this here before making further changes?
Thank you for your efforts to improve Wikipedia and through that to help people everywhere better understand the world we share. DavidMCEddy ( talk) 13:21, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
@ DavidMCEddy: In Vietnam the most powerful leader is the General Secretary of Communist Party of Vietnam. I think that the powerful leader should be in the list. Some people think that the President is the most powerful leader in Vietnam. No in Vietnam the most powerful leader is the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam.

Please rollback the October 2nd edit, which creates a heading ("Urbanization") at an inappropriate location and adds no new information under the new heading. 63.131.173.56 ( talk) 00:56, 3 October 2018 (UTC)
