Another week of learning, I just asked my husband “did he know that China had sent so many troops and supplied massive funds during the Vietnam War” of course he knew, I think he has read everything about every war that has been. I have enjoyed your series, and as I have said previously some of it is way over my head, being a lover not a fighter 😂😂 normally I would prefer not to read about conflict, but the story of Ho Chi Min was of interest considering I have been to the city and visited the museum. Thank you Brian.

I find it shocking that:

"In 1955, Hồ travelled to Beijing to receive $350 Million worth of Chinese foreign aid..."

Only a few short years later 30 million Chinese starved to death. 350 million bucks could have fed some people.
