The VC might be construed to be the offspring of the Viet Minh; the VM were communist Vietnamese (or at least backed by communists), and the VC were communists living in South Vietnam...so there very well might be an ancestral connection between those two organizations.
However, don't confuse either of those two military forces with the NVA. As the VM existed before there was a North Vietnam; and the VC were from South Vietnam. And secondly, neither the VM nor the VC were regular army units from an established country (such as North Vietnam).

What is the difference between the NVA and the Vietminh?
The biggest difference between them is the TIME and WAR. For the Viet Minh it's 1946-1954 against the French. For the VC it's 1960-1975 against the US. Other differences: 1. The Viet Minh encompassed all Vietnamese personnel & consisted of conventional and un-conventional troops. 2. The VC were virtually Southerners (existing only in South Vietnam) and were nearly strictly an un-conventional force. Bottom line: The Viet Minh were like the NVA & VC combined. The VC were separate from the NVA forces.
