Hmong people
Hmong people in Vietnam today are perceived very differently between various political organizations and changed throughout times. The Hmong people of Vietnam are a small minority and because of this, their loyalty toward the Vietnamese state has also been under question. Nonetheless, most Hmong people in Vietnam are fiercely loyal to the Vietnamese state, regardless of the current ideologies of the government with only those minorities supportive of Hmong resistance in Laos and Cambodia. These are mostly Hmong Christians who have fallen under target and poverty strike by alienation of all three Indochinese governments, since there has been no Hmong armed separatism in the country. The Hmong people in Vietnam also receive cultural and political promotion from the government alike. This unique feature distanced Hmong Vietnamese from Hmong Laotian, as their Laotian cousins are strongly anti-Vietnamese due to the Secret War and Communism.
