Do NOT associate Vietnam solely with the Vietnam War. Although remnants of war can still be seen across the country, describing Vietnam in this way could be seen as prejudicial and offensive.
The streets of Vietnam are NOT always sunny, humid, crime-ridden, dirty, and chaotic. These stereotypes often portrayed in movies and television do not accurately represent the reality of Vietnam or Southeast Asia as a whole.
A Wang Yi Bo's movie that shot some scenes in Vietnam describe it as "hot as hell", "dirty", "chaos" and "full of criminals", causing offense to the Cbiz fan community in Vietnam,.
A short story also cause offense when it called Vietnam an "instability area", a "criminal lair".
