In the wave of the global economy, China has always been known as its "world factory", attracting the attention and investment of many foreign enterprises. However, in recent years, China has gradually begun to move towards high-tech industries, and the role of the "world's factory" has gradually shifted to countries such as Vietnam, providing a solid foundation for the economic development of these countries. But unlike China, Vietnam does not seem to have built a satisfactory reputation on the international stage. Some people are beginning to wonder, with exports to the United States falling by 40% and exports to Europe falling by 60%, how long can Vietnam's manufacturing industry take over China's position.
Made in China has always been known for its advantages of high quality and high cost performance, which has enabled China to gain a firm foothold in the international market and successfully open the door to the market. More and more foreign companies have also seen China's low labor and production costs, and have come to invest, further consolidating China's position as the "world's factory". However, China knows that it cannot stand still, and must constantly transform and upgrade towards high-tech industries to avoid being eliminated.
This is an inevitable trend of China's development, and it is also an unavoidable reality. This may not be good news for foreign businesses, as investment costs rise accordingly. In recent years, some factories have been transferred from China to other countries, including Vietnam. Vietnam's situation is very similar to that when China joined the WTO, with relatively low labor and production costs, and therefore the potential to become the world's factory. Especially in the field of light manufacturing, Vietnam's costs are much lower than China's.
However, Vietnam's manufacturing industry has an extremely fatal weakness, that is, there is a serious shortage of domestic demand. A country's economic development usually depends on the three pillars of investment, exports and consumption, and the three go hand in hand to have broader development space. However, Vietnam's industrial structure is relatively undiversified and its economy is highly dependent on imports, and this problem is gradually exposed. Especially in the context of the global economic downturn, this problem has become more apparent.
As in the past few years, the global economy has underperformed, Vietnam's exports have dropped significantly, but domestic demand has not been able to compensate for this loss, so Vietnam's manufacturing industry has suffered a major blow. While Vietnam seems to have been hoping to emulate the success of Chinese manufacturing by attracting more attention and getting more orders with its long-established reputation, this is only an expectation because Vietnam does not have the strength of China from all accounts. From the perspective of economic development, Vietnam is not as vast as China, nor does it have a superior competitive advantage, so it cannot drive domestic demand.
As a result, Vietnam's economy is highly dependent on exports, which exposes it to huge risks in the international market. From a historical point of view, Vietnam lost stability after the war and could not recover in the short term, and attracting foreign investment became the only way out. However, in this process, Vietnam has to face various challenges, and the instability of the international situation makes it impossible to move forward easily. Especially during the pandemic, Vietnam's problems became more pronounced, with exports to the United States falling by 40% and exports to Europe falling by 60%.
Faced with this situation, Vietnam needs to think about how to break through the dilemma. Vietnam's desire to replicate the success of Chinese manufacturing is not wrong, the problem is the wrong approach. While lower labor and production costs have attracted some factories, the key is how to move from a reactive state to a proactive one, which will determine whether Vietnam can succeed. Last year, Vietnam's economic performance was poor, but it remained competitive from the perspective of the East Asian region.
Therefore, to break the predicament, Vietnam needs to improve its ability to resist risks and use its own advantages to take the initiative, rather than being passive. Especially in the context of the gradual relaxation of epidemic prevention and control measures in various countries, Vietnam is expected to recover. Compared to Made in China, India clearly lacks the ability to resist risks, which makes it difficult to gain a foothold in an unstable international market. Therefore, whether Vietnam can use its advantages to win international orders and attract more foreign enterprises in the future depends on their choice in the current situation.
In short, the rise of China's manufacturing industry has become history, and the status of the world's factory no longer belongs to China alone. Countries such as Vietnam have the opportunity to continue to develop the system
Build business, but be careful not to make the mistakes that China has made. Each country has its own unique circumstances and challenges, and blind imitation will not bring success.
Vietnam should learn from China's successful experience, but also find ways to innovate according to its own actual situation. In the volatile global economy, Vietnam needs to strengthen its resilience and actively cope with uncertainty. This includes improving domestic infrastructure, raising the level of education, encouraging scientific and technological innovation and diversifying trade to reduce dependence on the single market. Only in this way can Vietnam occupy a favorable position in international competition and achieve sustained economic growth.
At the same time, Vietnam needs to actively attract foreign investment, but also remain cautious. Attracting foreign investment is key to driving economic growth, but it must be ensured that foreign investment is in the country's long-term interests, not just for short-term profits. The government needs to establish sound laws and regulations to provide a transparent investment environment to attract more foreign investors.
In the context of fierce competition in the global market, Vietnam must improve its competitiveness. This includes not only reducing production costs, but also improving product quality and technical levels. Vietnam should encourage local companies to innovate and cultivate a highly qualified workforce to meet the needs of the international market.
Finally, Viet Nam needs to actively participate in international cooperation and strengthen economic ties with other countries. By signing free trade agreements and joining international organizations, Viet Nam can expand market access and promote trade and investment liberalization, thereby enhancing its international competitiveness.
In short, Vietnam is expected to continue to develop its manufacturing industry, but it must be cautious and not blindly imitated. Vietnam needs to find a development path that suits itself, improve its competitiveness, attract foreign investment, and actively participate in international cooperation to achieve sustained economic growth. In a challenging international market, Vietnam has the opportunity to realize its potential, but success requires smart decisions and firm execution.
