Hmong vietnamese, hmoob communist filled the void and is possibly.
The hmong that were prosecuted were the hmoob vang pao [hvp].
Hmong is widely known and popular that it confuses and overlaps with the term miao. Hmong people have lived in china for thousands of years. However in the united states, about 60% speak white hmong. Hmong people from china can identify with hmong southeast asia and hmong western world.
The only hmong people you would find are tourists and exchange students/studying abroad. Hmong is just one of the groups lumped into miao. I mean over half the hmong population still live in china. This is why most hmong people from laos speak the hmong white dialect and since most hmong people from laos migrated to western world they held lots of influence.
Also, the first time i heard of a guy named hnub qub was from a hmong dubbed thai drama.
One difference i see between. In the place that was left vacant by hvp. My sister and her husband traveled to the uk for over a month. The hmong language is tonal.
