25% of Japanese firms relocate to Vietnam after China exit: JETRO

[大汉奸柳传志]

Japan has a reputation for high quality, and as such even Chinese would first eat/consume/use Japanese products before they do that with Chinese.

I throwed out all the japanese mackerel-fish cans that I used to like just the other day.

Nuclear waste is no joke.

 

[Bussard Ramjet]

What's wrong with mango being better than contaminated Japan fish near the nuclear station?
Are u trying to tell us those fish is eatable?
Why don't u import those fish to nourish malnutrtional Indian kids?

I am raising objections to bring in one specific quality issue in Japanese food chain, and trying to play it up.

Now you have come to ad-hominem attacks.

The problem with people like you is that when you have no reasoning to make, attacking others, and somehow trying to downgrade others seems to be the only course to take.

I can't else imagine why my country's capacity to provide or not provide electricity to its citizens, has anything to do with my personal comments regarding Japanese demographics.

I hope that American members here try giving in kind what Chinese members give to countries less developed that them. As I say, by proportion America is far more developed and prosperous than China, compared to what China is to India.

So if Americans, or even Japanese were to continue your vile behavior, that would essentially make all Chinese poor and stupid.


Also, "mind your own business," is the same no-logic reasoning. Shouldn't you then be the one minding your own business, and not try meddling or commenting on Japan?

Anyways this is public forum, for the explicit purpose of discussion and dialogue. You might want to leave this thread, if you can't understand that basic principle.



Again, a largely non-sensical point.

Japan has a reputation for high quality, and as such even Chinese would first eat/consume/use Japanese products before they do that with Chinese.

Also, one or two isolated incidents don't make a difference. I can point to many simply grotesque incidents in Chinese food industry, that are far worse than the potential of radiation in fish will ever be.

I do not see ad hominem attacks. It is on you to understand the points made. The way the discourse used is not up to anybody to judge. You are free to debate the ideas put forward, verifying or falsifying them.

I am raising objections to bring in one specific quality issue in Japanese food chain, and trying to play it up.

You can stop reading minds, perhaps. It is not up to you to decide whether people should worry about Japanese produce or not, aren't you?

We are talking about fish from contaminated sea around northern Japan, not some general food chain issue.

Those japanese firms need to stock some fire extingushers just in case, vietnamese are quite popular when it comes to burning properties.

Maybe having some fish from Japan will help.

 

[Jlaw]

Mango is much better than those contaminated fish from Northern Japan.
Great idea!

Indeed. Seafood from Japan is not well sought after in Canada. In fact, sushi places I go to have signs up indicating their salmon are from Canada and US.

Import Alert 99-33

Even US, biggest ally of Japan has banned Japanese imports of food products.

I throwed out all the japanese mackerel-fish cans that I used to like just the other day.

Nuclear waste is no joke.

I'm surprised you purchased them in the first place. I stick with Canadian products for seafood

 

[Viet]

it should be 100% to leave china.

Not bad. You received 6 thanks for your comment. I hope your wish comes true

Bought them before I came to a wonderful and enlightening place called PDF

1. Declining Population
2. Aging Population
3. Highly Homogenous Country, with no desire to take in immigrants
4. Highly rigid society

We don't know anything yet about number 1 and 2 in Chinese case. Number 3 and 4 definitely does not apply to Chinese society. China is extremely multicultural and it's people does embrace the change.

As many as 25 percent of Japanese firms have relocated their operations to Vietnam after the China exit, Yasuzumi Hirotaka, head of the Ho Chi Minh City branch of the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO), said at a meeting in the southern city of Can Tho.

The regular event was held by the Can Tho branch of the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI) to review investment activities Vietnam’s Mekong Delta.

Japanese investors are attracted by the cheap labor costs and the much improved infrastructure in the Southeast Asian country, Hirotaka elaborated.

Many new bridges and roads have been built in Vietnam, cutting travel times between localities, so Japanese businesses want to expand investment to other areas rather than just Ho Chi Minh City, he added.

Still, businesses from the East Asian country are still concerned as investment information remains mostly unclear, while labor costs have also begun rising, the JETRO official noted.

The weak supporting industries of Vietnam is also an issue, as a business could only domestically source 33 percent of the necessary materials for production, while having to import the remaining proportion.

Vietnam thus needs more support in terms of taxes and other incentives to improve the supporting industries.

A representative of the South Korean trade organization also told the meeting that its member businesses do not know much about the agriculture sector in Vietnam’s Mekong Delta.

Mekong Delta provinces are therefore urged to supply more information and introduce their strengths to foreign businesses to be able to attract more investors, the South Korean trade organization advised.

Besides Can Tho, which is directly administered by the central government, the Mekong Delta also includes such provinces as Long An, Tien Giang, Ben Tre, Vinh Long, Tra Vinh, Hau Giang, Soc Trang, Dong Thap, An Giang, Kien Giang, Bac Lieu and Ca Mau.

These 13 localities took advantage of the Friday meeting to inform international investors that they are calling investment for 74 projects.

Japanese businesses will boost investment to the Mekong Delta, and seafood emerges as the industry with the biggest potential, according to the Japanese trade representative.

Vietnam’s Mekong Delta attracted $2.3 billion worth of foreign investment between 2011 and 2014, according to the VCCI Can Tho.

The area posted an average economic growth of 10 percent annually from 2001 to 2010, and 8.8 percent a year in the 2011-14 period.

There are now 29,000 businesses operating in the Mekong Delta, accounting for 7.7 percent of the total number of firms across Vietnam.

Considered Vietnam’s granary, the Mekong Delta supplies more than 90 percent of the country’s rice production, and 50 percent of the seafood outputs, among many other agriculture produce, according to the VCCI Can Tho.

He is talking about Japan.

I think the main problem with Japan is its democratic system. When everything go well (no competitor, no socio-economic problem, no enemy...), democratic system work well for the benefit of the mass (as in the last 50-60 years for the West (I mean real people democratic, not the fake ones like in the West in 19th and early 20th century).

But whenever some big troubles happens, democratic system lack the capability to carry out dramatic reform.

Now it is high time for Japan to have a strong government, which has more power in its hand to take necessary reform to change their country, like the great emperor Meiji.

On to the subject matter, recent development news on the potential for Vietnam in the Japanese industrial realignment schema. I think this is pertinent as we begin to orient to the Southeast Asian landscape and environment.

Japanese execs see VN potential

Many Japanese companies plan to expand to Viet Nam or even move here thanks to cheap labour and an improved investment environment. — File Photo
HCM CITY (VNS) — More than 500 executives from Japanese companies based around the world sought business opportunities in Viet Nam at a conference held in HCM City last weekend.

Viet Nam's membership of ASEAN, the Trans-Pacific Partnership and several free trade agreements has helped the country attract much attention from foreign investors, including the Japanese.

According to the Ministry of Planning and Investment's Foreign Investment Agency, Japan is the second biggest investor in Viet Nam with US$38.7 billion invested by its companies in 2,788 projects.

According to Yasuzumi Hirotaka, director of Japan External Trade Organisation (JETRO) in HCM City, Japanese investment in the city has been increasing in recent years, and this year 6,000 Japanese companies sent representatives to Viet Nam scout for investment opportunities.

Many Japanese companies with operations in China and Thailand – where costs have risen sharply – plan to expand to Viet Nam or even move here thanks to cheap labour and an improved investment environment.

According to a recent JETRO study, Japanese investors are concerned about five issues in Viet Nam – the inadequate legal system and lack of transparency, increasing labour costs, red tape, complicated tax procedure, and poor infrastructure.

But many multinationals expect Viet Nam to become a "factory of the world."

With the investment environment deteriorating in neighbouring countries, Viet Nam is emerging as an ideal investment destination.

But to take full advantage, the Government should speed up administrative reforms and further improve the investment environment. — VNS
