I'm not counting on it. In the 50's Chinese thought we stood up because we got rid of the foreigners, but that's just escapism. Mentally we still drool over everything we see that is "better than us".

Yes all those girls sound more muscular, they open their mouths wider and they talk more forcefully. The tones are different from mandarin and there are a few guttoral sounds that aren't in mandarin, but I think it wouldn't be too far off as one of the mandarin dialects.

both hanoi accent and mandarin often pronounce the zh, sh, s, ch, x sounds. Also, both languages have more base than treble, cantonese and south viet nam accent have more treble than base.

Doesn't sound Mandarin; sounds like mixture of Cantonese and Japanese...
In this video at 7:40 I heard the words 保卫 (Bao Wei) = Protect. Is that accurate?
Otherwise its incomprehensible.
Also at 8:47-8:51 I heard "保卫祖国领土安全“ Bao wei zu guo ling tu an quan = Defend the safety of national territory
is that correct?
