Vietnam is one of the few countries that is benefiting from the New SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. While almost every country is facing a colossal recession, Vietnam will not only continue to grow economically but is attracting a lot of new business. Companies such as Apple, Google, and Samsung, which have factories in China, are moving some of their production to this Southeast Asian country.
The reasons for this success are the more than outstanding management of the pandemic, Trump's trade war, and, of course, the so-called "Doi Moi": the Vietnamese economic reform program that began in 1986, and which opened the Vietnamese economy to international markets.
But how has this success occurred? To what extent could 2020 be a turning point in Vietnam's history? In this video, we'll tell you.

In the short period of time you have released another video i worry about the quality of the content ,quantity does not matter
Young Simon doesn't feel right for politics. The very old Simon with bad teeth needs to come back. He suits the topic better.
PS: Need Scottish attire from Brave Heart as well.
I don't understand why you don't make video on india
I have been a huge fan of VisualPolitik for a long time. I used to consider you guys as a reliable source. This video has made me doubts everything I have learnt from you guys. The data of covid cases and deaths in Vietnam is collected only by the Ministry of Health. There is no independent reporting. Because it is not allowed. Why is that? Yet you believe this statistics from an authoritarian state without a single doubt and any attempts to contextualise it. This is completely the opposite of what you are supposed to be doing. I am truly very disappointed..
i like these video more, well i can clearly understand when he speaks not just a babbling of the script that is too fast without meaning to understand and visualize. i would much more appreciate though if you would add at least top ten countries who beats covid economically. tnx
My wife's charger broke at 8pm one night while we were on holiday in Vietnam. We were able to walk to a shop and buy a replacement extremely inexpensively at that late hour.
Vietnam is a very technologically with it country. Good Wifi everywhere. It really challenges your perspectives.
Just bought a 9th gen cpu and it said made in vietnam. wow
what you said seems very normal to us Vietnamese. I’ve lived in Huddersfield, England and I have to say that my life in Hanoi is much much more comfortable and everything is more convenient. But maybe it’s because I have used to Vietnamese living style
Good for you, hope you have nice live in our country
i'm vietnamese and i can watch all youtube video as i want. Uncensored. i think Vietnam according to nationalism more
than comunism
Yes, you are right. Uncle Hồ famously once said: "i have only 1 party, the *Vietnamese Party* "
But Tbh. Communism died long ago.
Even China today is all about "China Dream" not "Communist's Dream".
In fact, communism and socialism is growing in the West more than ever while capitalist mentality is growing in communist countries even more.
Example: Western mindset right now = community-based value like LGBT+ or Equality (genders, race, and even income)
Chinese and Vietnamese mindset right now: Get rich!

1. Vietnam calls it "The American War".
2. War was never actually declared.
True !
@gebbletook
first of all, "total war, where you carpet bomb cities and drop atomic bombs": Only twice a nuclear bomb has ever been dropped and that only in a part of a singluar war, carpet bombings are an illegal war crime. If that was normal war to "the west", why would there ever be condemnation of e.g. assads chemical attacks?
second of all "you" bombed german cities to 95% destruction even after the allied troops already surrounded berlin and held large parts of germany and also liberated really all other countries except for the nordic regions.
third of all, you killed people with sticky fire, shot civilians, agent oranged all the trees and on top of that manufacturing the whole thing. "The original American report blamed North Vietnam for both incidents, but the Pentagon Papers, the memoirs of Robert McNamara, and NSA publications from 2005, proved that the US government lied to justify a war against Vietnam." (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_of_Tonkin_incident aka Maddox incident)
Even though I understand the sensitivities, it is a little strange calling it the American war, considering the north attacked the southern Regime. And considering that at the beginning there were almost no Americans in Viet Nam. + e.g. in the early war also 50,000 koreans were fighting for the South and the majority of southern troops were always Vietnamese. But well the winner writes the history books...
The north and the south Vietnam had a war first, I don’t know is that part of the war cause that perhaps the reason why we had a war at all.
@@81Earthangel the north and south were TEMPORARILY divided for 2 years, then there should have been a national election for reunification (Learn about the 1954 Geneva Conference). But the Southern Regime knew that they would lose an election against Ho Chi Minh, who had just defeated the French, so they did everything they could (with the support of the American) to stop the election from happening. That is why the southern guerillas fought back.
Vietnam is a great holiday destination too. It's such a nice country and the people are super friendly.
Of course they are nice we are dumping money on them like never before whats not to smile about..
Well, don't forget to bargain and remember to run as fast as you can when sellers just gonna pest you until you buy their goods
"How is it that a country which was once at war with the US is doing so well to integrate etc....." Germany & Japan springs to mind.

there was no marshal plan for Vietnam

Is it so hard to type the full name seriously? Nam is how the US soldiers called Vietnam during the war. I appreciate your nice words though. Thank you!
An American friend of mine he tell me that in US, they call Nam instead of Viet Nam. I dont understand. And i dont like it. Please call my country with the full name. In case you are not understand well. I telling you this. VIET is the main meaning of the name. Viet people to the south. Viet people which is rooted for a culture 5000 years! Please respect.
I had the opportunity last year to go to Vietnam during my visit to Taiwan. My wife, who's from Taiwan, and I decided to go to Vietnam. It was such a beautiful country we had a blast. And, it's people are awesome. So friendly and great food. We went to Hanoi but next time we will go to other cities. 🇺🇸🇻🇳🇻🇳🇺🇸
As a Filipino this makes me really jealous, we could've taken that opportunity with the advantage of a more open and free market and highly skilled young labor force...but oh well our government's incompetence has failed us yet again...this could've been the Philippines
Yeah! Indian here. Same feelings man!👍😅
Companies moved to Vietnam even before the pandemic
These are mostly Chinese factories outsourcing to Vietnam to cut costs
Don't worry bro we still got the call centers -from India 😉
Mickey Eva, yeah staying close to the CCP even though they threaten and attack your people in SC sea and economically. They have every intention of gaining total control of the Philippines. Probably Duarte not the best person to represent Filipinos
Why make Vietnam democratic?the system they have chosen for themselves seems to be working well.they have a government that cares about and helps their civilian population.that can barely even be said for the United States.
Yeah democracy is not alway work.
Everyone sooner or later wants freedom. Psychology. Communism is just a party. Dictatorship is oppression, sooner or later.
Because its system is the same with that of China's. The only reason it isn't a threat is because it isn't that big militarily.
@@bensonburner3852 wrong vietnam ain't China, plus democracy dont work in Vietnam or southeast asia , big power can easy corrupt the politician look at Philippines , our system ain't perfect but it work + it have a semi democracy within itself , maybe western should mine they own political system and let the rest chose whatever fit our country , if it not working anymore then there will be different type of govt but it will be our choice and not influence by western country or China
@@nganguyenthi4736 I agree with you. It's also very naive to think that democracy is the best system out there when there are a billion ways to run a society that we haven't even tried yet.
Better to just let countries run them in their own way so we can all evolve and learn, instead of everybody copying each other and evolving very slowly.

My wife says Vietnam had completely gotten rid of corona, but recently there has been a flood of Chinese people fleeing south into Vietnam without a visa. Bringing corona with them.
Beren Scott True, it is very sad, gotta make a wall or something to keep them out
@@JackLuong the viet government is very strict on border control. None the less, this will lead to racism and mistrust between the two countries. Generally the viet people are upset over the sale of islands and 99 year leases to china. There is issues of chinese companies polluting river systems inside vietnam. There is definitely a lot of hatred within the community. But it should be noted, that this hatred extends also to the government being corrupt and taking such actions against the will of the people. Nobody wants china to own anything in vietnam.
@nicolas dantes not everything is about wealth. The economy in vietnam is open, its easy to do business. I suppose its very easy to cross the border and disappear into Vietnam, very difficult to trace. Vietnam was also at a point where the virus was eradicated. The government was easy locking people up. Transmission in Vietnam was ultra low just like Taiwan.
@nicolas dantes Wealth is just one aspect to life. Freedom is another. There is no Great Firewall in Vietnam, you can import pretty much anything to Vietnam, except weapons and dangerous stuff, of course. You can do anything you want without being watched (of course the downside to it is that it is not as safe but some people prefer that). There are not as much regulations and rules compared to developed countries so starting a business is easy (though whether or not you'll make it big is another story).
@@MrDosonhai you knew that Vietnam is a Communist totalitarian states right...?

I have lived in many countries and I have been visiting in way more. But Vietnam is the country I loved the most, and could stay there for ever. Right now they are going trough processes that happened in eastern Europe in the 90's but in with regards of our (bad) example and experience. You can see the most entrepreneurs spirit and collective organization in one place - Vietnam
Im Vietnamese, and I just got back to Vietnam for the past 5 months. I totally agree with you, the information you mentioned are accurate, despite the infected cases are growing and today we announced the first death. Well done, dear! 🥰🥰
31.07.2020: Vietnam records first Covid-19 death.
2 deaths now. The second have just died.
Hope this will be the last fatalities...
3 death now 😔😢
@Hoàng Nguyên Khong... there is a saying "When plotting revenge dig two graves... one for your enemy and the other for yourself". Instead the world must force China to comply with basic human decency, govern by rule-of-law, be transparent, not be belligerent, and respect other nations... especially its' close neighbours such as Viet Nam. Your suggestion would only make matters worse. Plus China would entrench itself and become more belligerent and more stubborn. Let us not take lives... let us instead free them.
@Hoàng Nguyên Vang... it WAS life... in ancient times when men were barbaric and cruel. Atrocities have been done in past century, even last decade. But there is a World Organization which all nations have signed treaty to prevent barbaric nature of men. In US, Canada, Europe and many other countries, if a person or persons commit violent acts against people they are taken to trial and condemned for war crimes. The old saying that "All is fair in love and war" is no longer true nor allowed. Japan committed atrocities... but to commit atrocity in return is barbaric and wrong. If what you say is true the cycle of atrocity would never stop. There would pain everywhere by all peoples. I am sorry for your loss. I have visited Vietnam many times and love the Vietnamese people because they are kind and happy. Kindness is the base foundation of civilization. Please open your heart to kindness, let forgiveness guide you. You will rise above those who are petty and barbaric. Take the high road.

I'm a Vietnamese watching this video in Vietnam. I agree that COVID-19 has helped to advocate more foreign investments into my country, especially from businesses who had realized the risks from depending solely on China. From my knowledge of Vietnam's foreign policies, I think that at this point, we're very eager to strengthen international relationship and befriend with other countries, partly because China is an asshole to my country, specifically regarding the whole dispute happening in South China Sea aka Vietnam's East Sea for decades.
One critical key behind our success in combating the virus is that our people trust the government and responsibly follow the guidelines. Oversea media might cast doubt on the transparency of the info provided by our government. Of course I could not guarantee that all information is 100% accurate, but as someone whose life is pretty much guided by those information, I could tell you that the government is really putting efforts in preventing new cases in the community and arranging flights to take as many as possible stranded Vietnamese from abroad home.
Uyen P. Trinh I know this is a completely different topic. But your national soccer team is developing and growing quite fast. They had a strong showing reaching the 2019 Asian Cup Quarterfinals, as well almost upsetting 🇯🇵 in the last 8. Prior to the Pandemic, they were playing quite well in 2022 World Cup Asian Qualifying and could have a chance to reach the 3rd Round of Asian World Cup Qualifying (Round of 12). This would have them playing at least a couple of the strongest Asian Nations with tons of World Cup experience (Japan, South Korea, Australia, Iran, etc.) If they do, it would be a another great chance to showcase your country!
Good for Vietnam ! Vietnamese are very friendly people i wish them continued success
Good luck-- and try, please, to leap-frog over some of the air pollution.
There are so many Vietnamese people who are friendly with Chinese.by the way, without China help and military assistance from 1950-1975.your country maybe a colony to France or USA .and there are north Vietnam and south Vietnam. Ungrateful people.

@@chieuhai482 Vietnam’s GDP is comprised of 15% agriculture, 33.3% industry, and 51% services. It is noteworthy that Vietnam produces over 50% of Samsung smartphones. Though Vietnam had a very late start due to wars and economic sanction, it is developing technologically at a much faster pace than the countries you mentioned. Vietnam is more technologically advanced than some may think and its industries are fast developing. FPT and Viettel are world-class tech companies. Auto manufacturers (Vinfast, THACO) will soon be exporting vehicles to many countries including Europe and the U.S. Vietnam also produces ships of many types, large oil rigs, advanced missiles, weapon systems, robotics, medical devices, vaccines (including COVID) smart phones/devices (Vinsmart, ,BKav), domestic 5G technology (Viettel), super-tall skyscraper (landmark 81).

Good video. As a Native Californian who grew up in what is now Little Saigon who has Vietnamese great nephews I want Vietnam to succeed. The people are kind and generous.
I have been working in Vietnam for the last two years until the pandemic started, and can say that people there really listen to their government, if they are told to stay at home, they do it. Not like in the West when people protest about not being able to walk outside! That's the main reason why epicenter of the pandemic currently is in the West, and I am sure it will take much more time to get rid of this problem there, because people are so different! By the way, Vietnam is one of my favorite country and I hope that will be back soon:)
@Kijestic Productions I am Vietnamese, we are freer than you think, we even get free Covid testing and treatment. Our government is an upgraded system of capitalism and communism

Yup, because of the political stability there. Other countries like Thailand and India would need more time to achieve that kind of stability
No democratic countries can have complete political stability but it have its own advantage.
Stability created by clear guidelines and centralization. I'm no fan of Vietnam's way of previously and still occasionally flirting with Communist ideas, but I do have to concede that their strong and authoritarian system where the collective population is highly valued and cared for, worked wonders. Any country, no matter their economic and social policy, should adopt the structures that enables this type of anti-virus strategy.

Dude, your knowledge about Vietnam is impressive.
I was VP of Sales for a Manufacturing Company years ago. One of my American Vietnamese customers opened a Manufacturing plant in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City today). He opened the plant to help his relatives achieve a better life by becoming machinist. Quality was always an important part of his production planning. The Vietnamese people like Americans too. They do not trust the Chinese. Manufacturers from Taiwan pulled out of China too, and relocated to Vietnam. Good report. By the way, its a great place to find a wife if you are lucky. I did!

Vietnamese speaking from Hà Nội. Great video, as always, just a small (well not so small) fact that i would like to correct: our government didnt really encourage having as many kids as possible like you stated, but in place of China's 1 child policy, we had a 2 children policy ( I and my sister were products of this, and most of our friends had exactly just 1 sibling) which wasnt lifted until 2003.
As a matter of fact my mother was part of an innovative that went out to the countryside to educate people about family planning (they handed out LOADS of condoms lol) back in 96
Hey, Trung Nguyen: our government is encourageing couples to have more than 2 kids. They are planning the assistance them in economic aid, education and healthcare ... from now on to 2035 to slowing down the aging.
@@trongkiennguyen2983 now, yes. I did mention it was lifted in 2003, but for most of the duration of china's 1 child policy we have had the 2 children policy, and the way the video words it makes it seems like we have always encouraged morr children, which isnt the case at all
@@trongkiennguyen2983 It means Vietnamese are becoming more weathy than before. When people have higher income, they tend to produce less offsprings, instead, people will focus more on themselves.
@@trongkiennguyen2983 , they need more people to compete with China. That’s encouraged to have more children. Japan is doing the same.

Not just Vietnam but the whole Asean nations benefit from this bcoz investors see a lot of potential to grow in South East Asia. Recently a lot of multinational companies moved to Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam etc.
Top 3 choices are Vietnam, Indonesia and Philippines
True. But most move to Vietnam.
Vietnam for some reason is one of the least infected countries on Earth, despite being one of the first countries to have the virus. I don't know how they do it, but they're doing well over there.
Extremely early and extremely draconian measures, mate. We closed down our schools at 16 confirmed cases, locked down communities of thousands for just one infected, and did contact tracing the way most other countries look for most wanted criminal. Some would say out government infringed on many personal liberties fighting the virus, but it worked, and most of the population were supportive. So in short we have neither leaders pushing for reopening with thousands of cases reported daily, nor people who hold "corona virus parties"

@Agris Bisenieks The US is an established power if a rising power threatened its hegemony it's going to try everything in its power to make sure it's still number one.
I've work in the electronics manufacturing industry for several decades in the US. There is an unbelievable amount of SE Asian immigrants - especially from Vietnam - doing practical work in that sector. They are at minimum educated in the necessary trade skills at home but migrate due to a lack of opportunity. It would be interesting to see if Vietnam tries to lure back some of these educated and now experienced workers. They cannot compete with wages but they theoretically could with middle class purchasing power where as they currently have working class purchasing power in the US.
I'm just uber happy that living through a painful history Vietnam and it's people finally are walking on a flower road even if the government is not perfect.

Well done. Spot on.
The boy is improving
Take a drink every time this boy says "dictatorship "
Yep I'm drunk and its not a dictatorship. Its a one party system. Do things now and question lthings later. Not like Europe who can't decide. And loose this political battle and the end.
I mean, this channel is pretty transparently just Neoliberal ASMR, whispering to rich yuppies that everything wrong with the world is because (some) governments (sometimes) help poor people and daddy gets taxed too much...
Also, is that the same shirt Simon wore for like 3 million episodes or something?
Seems like a good trend even worst case scenario a strong Vietnam is a thorn at the side of china. They have a long history of resisting china so investing there seems like a good idea. We need to invest more in countries that can counter china like india, japan, South Korea, and Australia.
Mongolia Z well
watching this from saigon !!
This is cool 👌
15:33 Vietnam can become a democracy though I do not think it will happen any time soon. But it will not become the new China, the main reason for this is the CCP and the extreme pressure the put on all the other east and south Asian countries. Vietnam knows they need to world to have a chance of standing against the PRC. Also, most of the population seems to actually support the government even though they got access to information of what is going on in Vietnam and the world so the government does not need the same amount of control to stay in power as the CCP does. The CCP seems to fear the population much more than what you see in Vietnam, while Vietnam's government seems to care about their population much more than the CCP, even the minorities.
Sure the North and South Vietnamese government made many evil deeds in the Vietnam war, and after the victory, they were really hard-handed to. But that has been changing for decades now.
We need to help Vietnam stand against the PRC, both militarily and economically!
Who cares. Vietnam is number 1 in illegal fishing in Indonesia. Even those illegal fishing support by their government.
I am happy to help Vietnam become rich and modernized to stand on its own two feet against the PRC. First, you need to hold a multi-party election in 2021
Then, we will partner with a democratically government of Vietnam to modernized Vietnam's navy and air force. We will invest a lot more in Vietnam once Vietnam has a democratically elected government with separation of powers and an independent judiciary which will honor contracts and private porperty.
So common the Vietnamese Communist Party. Don't you care about your people living in poverty? If you do, then let's hold a multi-party election next year so that Vietnam will receive a huge boost in foreign investment and a significant reduction in corruption caused by the communist one-party state.

Nice video, but I have to admit that I feel so sick when someone mention the "Vietnam War".
well can't wait for the spicy topics coming in the upcoming days about the recent military tensions
I truly wish the best for Vietnam
This video is the most jinxed of all time :))
On behalf of all Vietnamese living in the country, let me just say that the reason why our government can maintain trust from the people as to not be put under any risk of deposition has a lot to do with why we Vietnamese are enjoying the free Internet and freedom of press and thought better than that of China’s and yet we don’t wish to be ruled by any “Western-style democracy” anytime soon: The VCP’s leadership has been continuously proven to be benevolent and worthy of the blood that our forefathers and revolutionary martyrs had to shed to keep our country’s existance on the world map. Western-style “democracy” and “freedom (with the trademark symbol) “ on the other hand hasn’t been used for anything but to discredit and deny our country’s progress. And as Josh have said in the video, as much as our regime is “authoritarian” by * to hell with * (unnecessary) “Western standards”, all decisions are made “in a collective manner by the Party”. Thus, unlike China where the CCP stained itself with the Tiananmen Square Massacre and the incarceration of its Uighur minority, never have we Vietnamese have to endure any of that kind of tyranny. Taking Vietnam’s response to COVID-19 versus that of good ol’ “land of the free” US of A and other Western “democracies” into account only further cements the fact that it is the status quo, or the Party’s leadership for the win.
Excuse my non- native English :D. Greetings from Hanoi! ^^
@Khoi Tran,
Your are such a sweet-talking communist propagandist. Tell us how your communist one-party state have been handling what your own communist leaders described as the national calamity, corruption?
Oh, by the way, did your beloved uncle Ho Chi Minh support multi-party democracy and equality for all?
@GTA and Apple channel
1 Every time someone raises the issue of endemic corruption in Vietnam, the communists always respond with a deceptive statement: Every country has corruption.
There are 2 very big differences between corruption in democratic countries and in communist Vietnam:
The first difference is: what percentage of German police force would you say is corrupt? 10%? 30%? Let me tell you this, if you say 10% of the German police force are corrupt, most people who have ever lived in Germany would not believe you. But let's just say for argument's sake that 30% of the German police force is corrupt and take bribes.
In communist Vietnam, almost 100% of communist Vietnamese police force is corrupt. That is why one anti-corruption campaign after another only resulted in more corruption in communist Vietnam.
Again, let's ask how many members of the German Cabinet are corrupt? And how many members of the communist Vietnamese Cabinet are corrupt? You will get the same answer as that for the respective police forces above.
The second difference is how corruption is actively investigated in democratic countries and how the legal system punish everyone convicted of corruption regardless of their political position. Below are two newspaper articles showing the former South Korean President and the former Malaysian Prime Minister were jailed for many years for corruption:
www.reuters.com/article/us-southkorea-politics-park/south-korean-court-raises-ex-president-parks-jail-term-to-25-years-idUSKCN1L905P
www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-53563065
In contrast, the sons and daughters of current and former Vietnamese communist prime ministers were educated at Universities in the US, Switzerland and other Western countries. We all know the salaries of prime ministers simply cannot cover the expense of sending a son to study at a Western university. Yet, communist police have never investigated Vietnamese prime ministers to find out where did they get the money to pay for the education of their children overseas and where did they get the money to pay for their lavish villas and mansions. No member of Vietnamese Parliament has ever dared to ask the prime ministers and other ministers of the communist government to explain where did they get the money to pay for their lavish mansions, their Mercedes Benz, their children being educated at expensive private US universities.
So, Vietnamese communists should stop their deceptive defense of their corrupt communist government by saying every country has corruption.
@GTA and Apple channel
And what has the one-party communist system of government done about corruption in the last 40 years? They have launched one anti-corruption campaign after another only to see corruption has gotten worse than ever. Then they insist that only the communist party should have the right to government the country.
Why have they not launched an investigation into where the prime ministers and other ministers of the Cabinet got their money to pay for the lavish mansions and villas?
Why have they not launched an investigation into where the ministers of the Cabinet got the money to pay for the very expensive costs of sending their children to private universities in the US?
-_- communist is evil that’s it
I'm very happy for Vietnam :)
I hope Vietnam becomes the Japan of South-East Asia. Those of you not getting what I'm saying, remember how Japan became the only Industrial power of Asia back when most of Asia was still under European colonial rule.
Now that you said that we just had 100 new cases and 3 more deaths.
The reason they died was because they were older
The new out break literally happened in emergency room in a hospital with full of sick old people. That doesn't help.
3 more have died since then, now it's six deaths.
@@vladimirpootis3200 I hurt when I heard that :"(
0 death case that Vietnam kept for 3 months!
This guy is good, a worth successor!
I have recently bought several products (some light fixtures, clothing, and an LED flashlight). Each of them had quality issues. They are going to have to up their game in production inspection.
They could be from China and ship to Vietnam and slap a label made in Vietnam.
Why dont you buy them somewhere else?
The world : oh my god covid 19 terrible outbreak😑
Vietnam : covid 19 ! What is covid 19 😆we forgot it a long time
@스파이더맨 it did and ruined a city now :V
Trọng Channel see, never underestimate this ccp virus. we are in trouble right now, very sad :-(
Covid deaths and second wave: Am I joke to you?
Iphone 11 is made or at least assembled in India for domestic use as well as exports . Samsung opened biggest mobile factory for mobile phone manufacturing in India . I think India is doing good compare to airpods of Vietnam.
It is simple to know. India is 12 times larger than Vietnam in term of population and 10 times in acreage.

China: That’s cute
Well, not mentioning the video titles and content, the thumbnail there saying "Vietnam is the new China" really took me aback...
Good video.
Sooooo wait a second.......it used to be half of the Adidas production was in China and now 1 in 2 pairs is made in Vietnam? Isnt it the same half?
You have to take output capacity into considerations. Previously half of Adidas' production was in China producing more than 50% of total output.
NO, half was made in China and half was in India, Bangla, but none in Vietnam. 1 in 2 pairs made in VN Vietnam is making half where it used to make none.
@@jiaxiangchen6743 I see that the CCP is paying their fifty cent army to spread misinformation again. Manufacturing is the least of your worries right now as half of your country is under water and the other half is being overrun with locusts and the CCP virus.
Vietnam is basically like China in early 2000's. They've unrestricted internet, a lot of traditional street food,not a cashless society and government isn't fully authoritarian.
Surprisingly chill for Communism. Then again Vietnam declined Chinese intervention in the war i think
@@skinisdelicious3365 Vietnam doesn't really like China for many reason so it not surpising.
VN is much more open than China.
Skin Is delicious yes, we accept the aid, but no military personel other than the advisors are allowed in. A lot of our “unconditional” aid are from the USSR, not China.
@@nguyentienbaominh5676 China is more open back then but with Winnie da pooh rule China is a bit more restricted than back in the early 2000's
I wish good luck to Vietnam and am happy that those firms move to other countries. At the same time, there are more high tech firms come to China like Tesla, they built factories and use the batteries of chinese CATLS，VW also invests in another chinese battery maker Gotion which ranks no 3 in China. This kind of cooperation not only help improve our technology, but also benefit our consumers, we can buy the cheapest Model 3 in the world. This is much better than only making phones,shoes and clothes.
Well done
Such a great country
7:15 how do you make it 2?
WW2 Japanese invasion.
War of independence against France.
Civil war north vs south, and then the US came in.
Then the war against Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, then China invaded from the north.
If it weren't for all these wars, Viet Nam would be in much better place!!!! Probably the best country in South East Asia by now.
@@abcalpha8420 if not for the wars who knows what they would be now. But yes, most likely France would have left and they would be a democratic country now if not for the wars.
@@mwtrolle actually Ho Chi Minh was lean democratic and he ask America to help for independence after ww2, but America eventually come to favor France and communist becomes the way to go. We somehow could have been democratic

The issue with VPNs is that my university keeps blocking them. I have no idea how. but apparently the IT department has figured it out.
Ok, I’m here for this guy as the host 😍
Like the content but the constant video skipping is annoying.
Seriously. Like what were they thinking? There was like 3 skips in one sentence at one point!
I agree, but don't have much affection for the content, either. China has been trying to control Vietnam for centuries, and One Direction boy seems to have no awareness of this. I can understand the impulse to be a CZcams Phenom and thinking Vietnam is a niche no one else has claimed, but he should develop some real expertise in the subject instead of this slapdash pastiche of equivocation. A vapid gloss is not helpful, full of solipsisms.
For example, he discusses factories moving to Vietnam from China. Many interesting aspects to this could be noted, but one that overshadows all others is who is going to own and/or manage those factories? If it is Chinese ownership or management, this does not properly address the intent of decoupling with China. Rather the opposite, it gives China a pretext to make more inroads into Vietnam, as with that economic dependence will come political interference. Building more factories in Vietnam could contribute to Vietnam's development, but these factories must not be owned or managed by Mainlanders or those with ties to the Mainland.
realrhetoric I agree. But for the record, the hosts who do this show aren’t the people who research and write the script. He’s just the messenger.
He should use teleprompter if he can't remember d sentences!
Is it my imagination, or is our humble narrator already starting to lose his hair since his first appearances on this channel? ;)
he's following the trend of simon whistler :(
Are those feathers or leaves on the shirt? Also is the plant in the background real or plastic?
