Indochina and SEA remained communist free ... according to the domino theory the whole point of USA involvement there was to contain the spread.

It failed to contain communism, though. Afterwards, communism spread to Cambodia; a direct domino effect of the US withdrawal.

Huh, that should be Indonesia... Because Indochina (as in the former French colony) was well and fully communist after the Vietnam war

Indochina is the name of the whole peninsula. Only cambodia and vietnam were. The domino theory was that Thailand and Myanmar will fall too.

well, Indochina wasn't communist free, as Cambodia and Vietnam were (and Laos too).
