The Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) will maintain a firm grip on power, despite factional splits over economic policy. The government's crackdown on bloggers, dissidents and other critics will continue.
Ties with China will remain prone to setbacks owing to territorial disputes in the South China Sea. Relations will be outwardly cordial, but are likely to be characterised by growing mistrust. This will push Vietnam closer to the US.
