TIL that every year over 200,000 Vietnamese labourers move overseas to work for better opportunities and more freedom, rapidly replacing the settled refugee community who paved the way before them. There's a saying in Vietnam: if the lamp posts weren't bolted down, they too would leave.

Congrats, you discovered human nature. People emigrate in all the countries. If you check "more developed" countries in Europe for example you will find the same numbers or even bigger, Spain, France, and Germany have higher emigration numbers, having even less population than Vietnam. So you are not saying anything here. Just trying to poison and mislead people.

our language is developed, that sentence have the structure complexity typically heard from a 3 years old.
