Trade with China is not a new thing at all...if fact it has been a constant for several thousand years. All the changes are the products and who has the red tape, corruption, and industrial espionage.
Secede? As in South Vietnam becoming a country again? No, no. The South Vietnamese are waiting for Hanoi's government to fall, or at least drop from its own form of communism and then return home as a single Vietnam....just one that is more in line with their own views of things rather than what they considered the communist way of things. Also from what I understand the locals still call it Saigon in their own little definace to Hanoi (sort of like how people still call Cesar Chavez Street, "Army Street" in San Francisco..including in partcular the Hospital on that street...since it still shows its address as 3555 Army Street on the side of it.)
