While I like the sentiment, Ho Chi Minh very intentionally styled his english after speeches given by americans like Regan (genius propaganda move), which is why his quotes sound so much more plausible as legitimate regan lines. Mao wasn’t eloquent in nearly the same way, which is a big part of why those so clearly aren’t regan quotes. It just doesn’t sound like him.
