The overwhelming majority of states are not 'the people', but instead enforcers working for the bourgeoisie.

Vietnam has a market economy in complacence with IMF demands. This means capitalists are given extremely disproportionate power that they can abuse if they are criminals. Jeff Bezos owns 1% of the GDP of the USA for reference.
