Vietnam is a single party state capitalist system nominally called the Communist Party that teaches the same Marxist ideology as China.
Vietnam's head of state and head of party can serve just as many terms as Xi Jinping has so far.
Vietnam's system as all the same trappings as China's when it comes to political dissent or anything that can "undermine the territorial sovereignty and unity", an idea that can be used to control all facets of life. There are major human rights violations and concerns occurring there as well.
The general lack of trepidation about Vietnam, from the West, is solely due to Vietnam's irrelevancy, and Vietnam playing their own irrelevancy as friendliness for their own protection, it makes sense and they have no reason to do otherwise.
My only point here is that the primary issues we have with China is not their system, just their market power.
