Why? Vietnam is beautiful, experiencing towns built around bikes instead of cars and being able to buy good meal for 1.20 USD is good for your soul. China is the most developed country in the world right now, and I’m planning to go back in a month or so. I haven’t been, but I hear Cuba has lovely beaches and rum.
Were you under the impression these places were dangerous?

It's a single party autocracy with a very bloody history involving the west.

That’s a bizarre claim to make when America has been abducting people, torturing them, and vanishing them, without due process for decades, and I am not aware of such a case happening in any of those 3 countries. Except in 2012, when China caught the CIA’s spy network and charged them with espionage.
As far as the bloody history goes, tge blood is only on the hands of the side that invaded and subjugated them.

Sounds like whataboutism. I don't really recommend vising the USA. Maybe you should have higher standards than "very unlikely (citation needed) to be abducted and murdered by authoritarians".
