A few of Vietnamese national champions collapsed a few years ago with enormous debts. I still remember Vietnam's shipbuilder has once attempted to challenged South Korea and China before collapse under debts.
Vietnam’s issue is they tried to suck up to West too much. They don’t have the balls to do something like the Great Firewall. The issue is that now it’s not possible because 1. their people are too addicted to Facebook (and other western stuff in general) and 2. the west actually doesn’t need them because of China and other competitors

More fake news from Bloomberg. As the TikTok spokeman said, any splitting does nothing to address the US national security. And the Chinese government is unlikely to approve such proposal.

The longer this TikTok story goes on, the more it looks like the United States want to steal it for themselves. Obtain it through any means.

All these talks about banning TikTok is really a ploy to own TikTok, because then the Americans would own all the social media apps.

No. That is always the answer.

No. No, no, no, no. NO!

Sort of like China! China, China, Chyna!

:D

Like most countries the same size, Vietnam lacks the internal market to really incubate national champions, so it needs a developed patron market. For Korea and Japan, that was the US. But the US doesn’t trust Vietnam since it’s not a vassal.

China could play this role for Vietnam maybe in 10-20 years. Only after it’s built up its own domestic champions already though.
