Recently, a shocking news came from Vietnam, a Southeast Asian country that is suffering a huge disaster, and they have turned to the United States for help. Now they have to turn to China for assistance. So, what's going on here?
According to the investigation, the disaster in Vietnam was a break in the fishing supply chain, and the most serious problem was the flooding of pangasius. Pangasius is a specialty of Vietnam and is a freshwater farmed species, with its huge size and small number of spines making it one of the most popular fish species in countries around the world. For many years, the United States has been one of the largest importers of pangasius, which has brought huge economic benefits to both countries that frequently trade with Vietnam and boosted Vietnam's economic development.
However, in pursuit of higher yields, Vietnam began to increase the export price of pangasius. But sadly, this price increase has not brought more foreign exchange to Vietnam, but has caused many countries to reduce their large imports of pangasius in Vietnam. This is undoubtedly a huge blow to Vietnam, especially for the local fishermen, who are suffering too much to sell large quantities of fish.
At present, the problem facing Vietnam is the continuous reproduction of pangasius. If the problem of exporting pangasius is not resolved as soon as possible, the fish will have to be thrown into the river. Therefore, in order to reduce losses, Vietnam took the initiative to ask the United States to reduce prices, hoping to restart trade with the United States, but the United States continued to cancel a large number of orders. In the face of helplessness, Vietnam has to regard China as a lifesaver.
As we all know, China, as a country with a large population, has a huge market demand. Therefore, Vietnam hopes that China can lend a hand to alleviate the crisis of pangasius flooding. However, China is reluctant to step in. On the one hand, Vietnam's reputation in the world is quite poor, it has had conflicts with many countries it has cooperated with, and even many foreign companies have blacklisted Vietnam. On the other hand, Vietnam's request for assistance may also have ulterior motives, because they should have sold pangasius at a low price, but deliberately raised the price to sell to China. It seems that they intend to blackmail us in the name of asking for help.
Adding to the anger, Vietnam does not seem to be friendly to Chinese. Friends who have been to Vietnam know that it is common to be pitted in the local area. What's more, some people in Vietnam have even openly expressed their diswelcome Chinese and posted signs on some shops that "do not sell things to Chinese." This is very infuriating. What is even more incredible is that some Chinese tourists find that when they spend in Vietnam, they will be increased for no reason, and local merchants will sometimes temporarily increase the price for them when they see Chinese consumption, seemingly taking Chinese tourists as the main culprit. Most infuriatingly, this discrimination is often directed only against Chinese. Now that they are in trouble, but they want us to help them, what price can they expect us to pay?
The incident sparked widespread attention and discussion, with many expressing anger and disgust at Vietnam's approach. They believe that Vietnam's actions are untrustworthy and are using China's aid for personal gain. Others say we should not help Vietnam because they have caused pain and distress to other countries.
Overall, the disaster in Vietnam's fishing industry is indeed embarrassing, but given Vietnam's behavior and hostility to China, whether we should lend a helping hand needs to be carefully considered. After all, we can't let ourselves be bullied. What is your opinion on this?
