I need to clarify that when I said "more beneficial", I was comparing Japanese with Korean. Chinese should beat them both very handily. When I was started learning Japanese more than 10 years ago, my tutor actually said she regretted learning Japanese instead of Chinese. Even back then, Chinese provides you with alot more opportunity.
Japan has a lot more investment into Vietnam than Korea (both officially from government, see (0), as well as Japanese companies either utilizing Vietnamese labor or making investment into Vietnam. So Japanese has an edge if you want to learn a second foreign language.
Latin alphabet completely replaced Chinese in Vietnamese language. We still have loan word that is phonetically from Cantonese with similar meaning to the Chinese counterpart. They are being spelled entirely in Latin alphabet. They are called Han-Viet (hán-việt).
