It is a continuation, and a joke as far as I'm concern.Canpark 06:18, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Government in exile?

Is the Government of Free Vietnam recognized as the legitimate government of Vietnam by any nation? If not, then they can hardly be called a "government in exile". They don't meet the historical requirements of such. Since the US has official diplomatic relations with Communist Vietnam, even if Communism fell in Vietnam tomorrow, this organization would not be recognized by any legitimate government anywhere. So, let's stop calling it a "government in exile". Jlujan69 07:39, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

It is a joke and I am surprised nobody has already removed this. I have done so. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 03:44, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

-This is not a joke, as the Government of Free Vietnam aspects and goals fits within the definition of the Government in Exile.

A government in exile is a political group that claims to be a country's legitimate government, but for various reasons is unable to exercise its legal power, and instead resides in a foreign country. Governments in exile usually operate under the assumption that they will one day return to their native country and regain power.

-This is their claim and they are supported by Vietnamese and well as other foreigners and other asians such as General Vang Pao.Bnguyen 09:44, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Governments_in_exile: "government in exile is a political group that claims to be a country's legitimate government, but for various reasons is unable to exercise its legal power" ---> This group is not a continuation of the Republic of Vietnam and has no legal basis, unlike an expelled monarchy which has a claim to still being the head of state. It is just a random group of people who think that they own Vietnam. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 01:05, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
