Vietnam pushes for more Chinese investment

[ChineseTiger1986]

Trade and investment are different.
In the 40 billion USD bilateral trade with China, Vietnam only collected about 10 billion. So if war occurred between the two countries, we will not incur the deficit 30 billion USD every year.
Please note that the majority of Chinese goods exported to VN is the low quality goods. They are mainly imported into Vietnam because of corruption of officials.

If I'm not mistaken, China is also rice exporter, with the Japan market.

Your country is very poor, you should be grateful that China provides you guys the affordable daily commodities, but you could boycott China's product for all i care.

If China does have bad quality, then Vietnam does have no quality at all.

Not so. The reason is China only wants to invest in areas such as natural resource extraction, minerals and reserves the right to buy it cheaply. Vietnamese people don't allow that.
That's why China has only focused on investment in Africa in order to extract natural resources there.

China is investing in Uncle Sam backyard, the Caribbeans, for infrastructures, schools, hospitals, stadiums and roads etc. She's also have the same commitments with most of the South American nations as well. Yes resources are important for China, however diversifying her investment portfolios are also very important for her long term strategy.

So if Vietnam does not welcome China's investments many do and China is not going to cry a river because of Vietnam's lost opportunities.

I don't know if they are Chinese, but if they are, then they aren't very famous. On the other hand, Vietnamese are so famous for jumping the border north, even Western media noticed.

Vietnam is on the right track if they are pushing for more investments from China. Back in the 60's till the 80's Japan used to occupy the position China is in now. Despite the difficult history we had with Japan just 2 decades prior, some of us still developed extensive trade and economic ties with them. And that proved to be the right decision since alot of our countries got rich in the process. Now that Japan is rapidly declining and with a resurgent China poised to take her place, ASEAN nations should expand their trade and commercial links with China as well. I'm all for seeing Vietnam and China improve their ties and have extensive trade and commerce going on between their people.

I think exchange of labors between the two countries is normal. Every year about 80 thousands Koreans working in VN, and also same numbers of Vietnamese working in South Korea.
But here many Chinese sound loudly that many VN labor in their country without knowing that there are hundreds of thousands of Chinese workers flooding in VN, and most of them are untrained labors, to VN with a tourist visa.
Try reading one of the many articles about that:

VietNamNet - Foreign laborers flood Vietnam | Foreign laborers flood Vietnam

But China's massive investments in ASEAN countries in recent years have drawn criticism and resistance from some locals. Sceptics view these investments as a way for China to buy up resources and for it to extend its political dominance in the region.


It seems like a catch 22 situation for these locals. They want the money but unwilling to give give up anything.

these people are playing economy:China; military: usa / russia cards.

Regarding investment in vietnam: I say no!

 

[Battle of Bach Dang River]

Currently, China even has the total investment only about 1/8 the total investment from Taiwan to Vietnam.
Currently, if one includes investment through 3rd countries (of multinational corporations), the US is the largest investor in VN.

Obviously they don't seem to appreciate our investment, and they think we're there to steal their precious natural resources. They also think their trade deficits with us is the result of our aggressiveness without realizing they'll balance our in a few years when we help them to set up their manufacturing infrastructures.

"You can't be a whoor and remain chastity at the same time" is the best Chinese term I can use to describe the situations.

If Mr. Battle of Bach Dang River's posts is an indication of Vietnam public opinions you can see we are clearly not welcome to invest there and I'm sure some of our comrades in our government would share my opinion when they read his posts.

trade is a barrier against war. nice move.

No, my man! the fact until now China investment in VN not much, in addition to the EPC tender packages.
We appreciate China's investment, if it follow VN-oriented (not to exploit natural resources), and if there is no # 8 above.

So the fact remains China's investments in Vietnam is small compares to others because Vietnam creates obstacles for China to invest. China is a biggest investor in many countries nowadays and why in Vietnam, her closest neighbor, received so little?

We don't create any obstacles for Chinese enterprises. Enterprises from different countries all comply with investment laws of VN. As you see, DFM Nguyen Thanh Son has come to Beijing to call for investment from Chinese companies.
Your question should be reserved for the Chinese government. Maybe they don't want to see a stronger Vietnam?
