I'm really interested in learning more about Chinese and Vietnamese socialism and their mixed economies. It seems that all you read here in the US is that China is communist in name only and that capitalism, exploitation, and corruption run rampant there.
One of the few positive things that have leaked through into the corporate press here about China is their recent passage of new labor laws that protect worker's rights there in the private sector and strengthen unions and collective bargaining and limits the private sector's ability to fire at will. Of course the American press reported on that negatively - the multinationals are none to happy about workers rights in China!
