We face similar problem with China: huge trade deficit. So what we do:
# we copy China and produce goods with cheaper prices
# we have started a campain "buy Vietnamese goods!", aiming consumers should buy 80% from domestic source within 5 years
# we have urged China to further open its market , especially for Vietnamese farm products such as rice, fish, etc...
Just to name a few. Although we still suffer trade deficit with China, last year we reached a trade balance at the first time since 20 years.
