Vietnam: Hoang Van Hoan (1905-1991), a founding member of the Indochinese Communist Party

Hoang Van Hoan (1905-1991) was a personal friend of Ho Chi Minh, a founding member of the Indochinese Communist Party, and a Politburo member of the Lao Dong Party (Vietnam Workers' Party-VWP) from 1960 to 1976. He lost much of his influence after Ho Chi Minh's death in 1969, and particularly after the Fourth National Party Congress in 1977, when the Vietnamese Communists shifted to a pro-Soviet position. Hoang defected and surfaced in Beijing in July 1979.
