The question is often raised as to where Chiang Kai-sek and his KMT might flee to after the Chinese Civil War if not Taiwan. Here's an idea, what about Vietnam?

Following the immediately post-War power vacuum in Vietnam, the ROC was one of the most influential actors in the region, probably coming second only to the French.

So what if the French have no desire to retake Vietnam following WWII, leaving the ROC the dominant power in the region. Aside from this, the Chinese Civil War continues as OTL, and eventually Mao Zedong triumphs. The KMT, instead of fleeing to Taiwan, march into North Vietnam and set up their own state.

What would this state look like, and on a scale of one to ten, how screwed will the Vietnamese communists be?
