Commentary: Thanks to the brilliant leadership of the communists of 38 years, Vietnam is becoming a socialist paradise. Vietnam has become a paradise for the world’s single men who look for mail-order-brides. About 100,000 Vietnamese are married to foreigners per year. This number surpasses the number of export laborers, which averages about 80,000 per year. Vietnamese women are usually at the forefront of making sacrifices to help the families.

Chinese, South Koreans, and Taiwanese are among the largest consumers. Advertisement of these mail-order-brides are usually depicted as commodity. About 8,000 Vietnamese women married Korean men in 2011 and 10,000 Vietnamese women married Chinese men in 2010.

There is nothing of marrying foreigners for love and it should be encouraged as the world has become more globalized. However, it is heart-breaking that a large number of Vietnamese daughters have to sell themselves in unhappy marriages in exchange for a few hundreds or thousands dollars. This phenomenon has never existed in Vietnamese history of 4,000 years until now.
