    What do you mean, do you mean that Vietnamese people are descendants of Chinese people? Or do you mean their languages? Or territory occupation?

    Check wikipedia.com - lots of info there.

    But basically, a lot of Vietnamese culture/language/traditions is based from Chinese, as is many other Asian cultures (korean, jap, ...)

    There's alot of words in the asian languages that are similar, as for vietnamese and chinese... From what i know, jobs were hard to find in china, and many people immigrated to vietnam. They adapted the language and culture and mixed it in with their own. *Vietnam's written language is based on the French's(when they were under their control) There are a lot of viet/chineses and a lot of people who speak cantonese are from vietnam

    China has great influences on VN, therefore it seems like the Vietnamese are very much like Chinese. even some words sound/have originated from China.

    Yup yup that's right. I'm a Vietnamese too. Many things in VN are the same in China. I went to China and I found that Chinese life style isn't different from Vietnam.

    vietnamese are chinese, at least that's what i believe.

    i mean they got same blood as chinese, same ancestors, basically all orientals are Chinese. Just because chinese moved to vietnam a long time ago and are none as vietnamese, dont mean they r not chinese.

    anybody agree wit me?

    well i know during wars, many chinese immigrated to vietnam for a new life, where everthing was cheaper to buy.
