Why is Vietnam a capitalist country?

Vietnam is a capitalist country, which is caused by the needs of economic development, changes in the international environment and the rise of reformists within the party.

1. Economic development needs: Vietnam has a weak economic foundation in the early stage of reform and opening up, and needs to attract foreign investment and develop a market economy to promote economic development. Therefore, the Vietnamese government began to relax the restrictions on foreign investment, introduce foreign investment, encourage the development of enterprises, and gradually implement a market economy.

2. Changes in the international environment: 1986, the Soviet Union began to carry out reforms, and political and economic changes took place in the socialist countries in Eastern Europe. Great changes have taken place in the international situation, and Vietnam has also been affected. In order to adapt to the changes in the international environment, the Vietnamese government began to carry out reform and opening up, gradually implemented a market economy and transformed into capitalism.

3. The rise of reformists within the Party: A number of reformists have emerged within the Vietnamese Party, advocating the implementation of a market economy, attracting foreign investment and promoting economic development. These people gradually rose in the party, which promoted the transition of Vietnam to capitalism.
