how much state owned company played in VN economy? can you give me some excat data?
I have searched on Vietnamese online newspapers, In 2011 Vietnam has about 675,000 businesses.
According to Vietnam's President, to 2015 Vietnam has about 1.2-1.3 million business, and by 2020 about 1.8 - 2 million businesses.
The total number of state-owned businesses about over 1,300.
I would like adding about telecommunication field, there were some of foreign groups from S.Korea, Russia,... had invested in Vietnam, but they had to retreat because they could not compete with Vietnamese groups [state-own and private]
A fact is losers always find excuses to lose while winners find excuses to win.
Vietnam unfortunately embarks on a wrong way in the last a few decades after Vietnam War, and is continuing on that way: it is not only about de-sinicization, but also about attempting to makes trouble with China.
You try to establish your own identity, which is OK. But you try to establish your own identity in a wrong way. Thus, you have to pay, in the past, in the present, and if you don’t correct it, in the future.
In some sense, I feel bad for the Vietnamese: a brave and diligent people. They should deserve better than they do now.
Development less than China, that does not mean "loser".
We have also achieved many success, although VN economy only really started after the US lifted economic sanctions in 1995.
Troubles starting from China-Soviet split.
China demanded us cut ties with Soviet Union only because of the trouble between China and Soviet (!??)
We never accept a such proposal, even now.
It was a private problem between the two countries (China-Soviet), it should not cause damage to a third country (Vietnam).
I agree with you but am also understand people in Hong Kong, just like Singapore with limited spaces near their jobs, don't have that much choices. The only way these two cities can do is to build up instead of building sideways with big houses, big yards and double garages, so that people don't have to travel long distances to work.
With high gasoline cost now a days even the rural Americans find it unaffordable to live in ideal environments 100km from away from their jobs in big cities. Perhaps China's HSR developments have their merits after all.
Yes, I understand the reasons for its existence. Everywhere there are many apartment buildings same.
But it would be better if they were built with buildings designed different or painted different colors.
