Because Vietnam is right next to China and can never leave China's control!

@khoadinh9897 There are some similarities, but they are also different! Most of Vietnam's manufacturing industry relies on China, with some Chinese companies directly building factories in Vietnam. In addition, most of the raw materials are imported from China, and electricity in northern Vietnam also relies on China for transmission! Without investment from the United States, Japan, and South Korea, Vietnam's economy would decline, and without China's help, Vietnam would collapse directly!

@khoadinh9897 You should carefully read what I said, I did not deny that other countries are investing in Vietnam! What I'm saying is that Vietnam's manufacturing industry relies on China. Without Chinese raw materials, Vietnam's manufacturing industry would be directly paralyzed. It's not that Vietnam can't import raw materials from other countries, but because of the cost price, which is the most basic and core factor! China delivers approximately 70 million kilowatt hours of electricity to Vietnam every year, mainly to meet the power supply needs of some northern regions of Vietnam. This is also a fact! In addition, the car manufacturing you mentioned actually imports most of the car parts directly from China. Vietnam produces some simple parts and then assembles them in Vietnam. Vietnam does not have the research and development capabilities for cars, whether they are gasoline or electric vehicles!
