    1. I think this will lead [to] a very difficult time for Vietnam, for the political allies to negotiate among themselves who will assume the position of Nguyen Phu Trong. That might lead to a succession crisis where different factions would not agree.
    2. Vietnam has become more and more like China, where institutions and norms doesn't really matter as much as personal power.
    3. Now it isn't only about the rules or norms, but it is also about who holds the most power.
