I am Vietnamese myself and pretty sure that my people are not so great at throwing spears. We used it back in tribal days, and when we had a standing army, we treated throwing spears as a hunting only weapon, not a legit weapon for the military. Skirmishes and ambushes were done by stones, bows and crossbows, much more effective than throwing spears. It's weird that we have Imperial skirmishers and even share it to our allies. As weird as Britons have stone slingers being promoted to Imperials and shares to allies
