America’s image is mostly positive among the Asian nations polled. Particularly large majorities see the U.S. favorably in the Philippines (92%), South Korea (84%) and Vietnam (77%).

It’s from 2015 but more recent polls have found similar data IIRC

79% of people polled in Vietnam chose the US in the “Preferred alignment choice in U.S.-China rivalry” which is a different metric obviously but still points towards the same idea

Edit: According to Luna Oi, Pew Research Center is a neoliberal think tank that cannot be trusted on anything about Vietnam

    As you have learned, it’s just cope from Burgerlanders, in this case purposely misleading polls. And speaking of Luna, she has volunteered for an org in Vietnam that specializes in taking care of victims and descendants of victims of Agent Orange. Yep, I’m sure all of those people have swell opinions of the US.
