Today's topic: Why do some Viet Nam not consider themselves Southeast Asian?
Viet Nam has had its own unique historical trajectory since ancient times. From the land of Baiyue in ancient times, to the subsequent changes of dynasties, to various changes in modern times, these historical experiences have formed a strong national identity and cultural confidence of the Viet Nam people.
