In cities such as Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam, the function of people near WeChat has become a headache. Greetings from strangers, friend requests, and sales pitches of various services are overwhelming. Behind this trouble, it reveals the prosperity of Vietnam's pornography industry that cannot be ignored. In this article, we will delve into the reasons behind Vietnam's industry, analyzing the issue from three perspectives: history, demand market and government policy.

Vietnam, a vibrant Southeast Asian country, however, its city is buzzed by WeChat's nearby people feature. Once you turn on this feature, endless harassment enses. Strangers greet you, send friend requests, and disturb your tranquility with sales pitches of various services.
These practitioners use different social tools for different countries, and if they are targeting Chinese tourists, WeChat and Moments become essential tools. Whether you are a foreign tourist or traveling in Vietnam on business, you will find a variety of massage and spa centers everywhere.
However, the formality of this is a questionable question. In Vietnam, where foreigners are densely frequented, many of the many "massage" and "SPA" places are not legal, and it can be very embarrassing to enter.
To find a real massage parlor, visitors often have to ask local colleagues about which places are regular bathing centers and which are just pornographic places disguised as bathing centers. According to local colleagues, the price of a regular bathing center usually does not exceed VND 300,000. If the asking price of the practitioner exceeds this price, tourists need to be extra careful.
The reasons behind Vietnam's booming sex industry are complex and varied, but they can be boiled down to three main factors: historical background, huge market demand, and government laissez-faire.
First, Vietnam's historical background has had a profound impact on the prosperity of the industry. In the colonial era, Vietnam was occupied by France, Japan and the United States. During this chaotic time, many women were forced or voluntarily to become mistresses and concubines of foreign colonists in order to make a living. This tradition continues to this day, and many women voluntarily join the sex industry in order to improve their lives.
Unlike China, Vietnam's social customs differ significantly in terms of gender roles.
In China, men are generally considered to have the responsibility to provide for their families, while in Vietnam, men do not have this natural responsibility. This has led to many men staying at home and relying on women to go out to earn money to support their families. In an environment of relative economic backwardness, women have limited career options and have to enter the sex or scam industry to make ends meet.
Secondly, Vietnam's large population and abundant labor force make it one of the world's top choices for manufacturing relocation. Chinese and other companies have built factories in Vietnam, accelerating Vietnam's industrialization process. The arrival of these foreign workers has also brought greater demand for Vietnam's sex industry, further stimulating its development.
In particular, the impact of the Sino-US trade war has led many foreign companies to shift production from China to Vietnam. Dell Computers, for example, announced plans to shift half of its production capacity from China to Vietnam in 2025. As more and more foreigners enter Vietnam, the local sex industry market is also booming, becoming an important factor driving economic growth.
In addition, the reputation of the sex industry in Southeast Asia is growing, and the sex tourism industry is also emerging in Vietnam. Many foreigners come to Vietnam in search of the low-level gratification of the local sex industry. Demand drives the market, and Vietnam's industry has boomed as a result of which it has become a pillar of the economy that cannot be ignored.
However, the Vietnamese government's regulation of the sex industry has been problematic. Although prostitution and prostitution are illegally prohibited in Vietnam, the government has failed to effectively crack down on the industry for years. According to statistics, there are more than 200,000 sex workers in Vietnam, and there are more than 30,000 establishments related to sex trafficking in Ho Chi Minh City alone, including massage parlors and karaoke parlors.
Vietnam's industry has formed a chain of interests from top to bottom, and many establishments are even unabashedly opened in the most prosperous areas of the city, which is well known, but no one dares to interfere.
Some small establishments even have an underworld background, more
This makes it more difficult to enforce the law.
Punishment for sex workers in Vietnam is relatively light, based primarily on fines rather than detention. Practitioners who are caught the first time only need to pay a fine of VND 300,000, and the second time they are caught, they have to pay a fine of VND 5 million. For these practitioners, such fines are relatively insignificant, especially when they expect high gains, and the penalties are almost undeterrent.
The proliferation of pornography in Vietnam has caused serious social problems, one of which is the spread of AIDS.
It is reported that about 40% of sex workers in Viet Nam are living with HIV, a very worrying figure. Therefore, people traveling to Vietnam for tourism or work must remain vigilant to safeguard their health and safety.
In Vietnam, the boom in the sex industry is far from accidental, but the result of a combination of history, demand markets and government policies. Vietnam's industry has grown so fast that it has almost become a calling card of the country. However, the social problems and health risks it brings cannot be ignored. To address this problem, the Vietnamese government needs to take stricter legal measures and strengthen the regulation of the sex industry to ensure social safety and stability.
