A country that industrializes and does not depend solely on commodities will be successful. Now we will have to know what Vietnamese diplomacy will be like due to its inclusion in BRICS, given that the US is one of its main export partners.

I heard that Hanoi just had a severe flood last year and was batttling high PM2.5 and general smog over the winter. Guess that's part of the price of breakneck speed urban development.
