      Technically correct, which is the most tone-deaf kind of correct.

      Communist is an adjective, and it’s right there in their name:

      Under the constitution, the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) asserts their role in all branches of the country’s politics and society.

      While the country may not be strictly communist, the adjective is absolutely appropriate to describe its ruling party, which is the only party allowed and therefore it’s valid to refer to the entire government by that adjective.

      You’re just being obtuse…
