Not too long ago Vietnam was found guilty of laundering steel on behalf of china. What happened is Vietnam imported steel from China and rebranded made in Vietnam to help China escaped the US embargo. So the story of Vietnam steel industry is not that important an issue.

[@jonaafr]

After watching and listening to your explanation I am curious. You said Vietnam have their own steel production so why are your own companies not buying steel made in Vietnam instead of buying from China. Yes, it is cheaper but you can also compete with their prices right?. Vietnam manpower is much cheaper than China today, so labour is cheaper than China. 2ndly, local produced need not be shipped, they can be transported directly to local buyers, so save cost of transport from China. China subsidizing their steel production is not the only question that can be raise. Vietnam were or are very happy when big Chinese companies (mobile phones, shoes, clothing etc etc) shifted their factories over the Vietnam due to higher labour cost in China. I did not hear Vietnam protesting against this business. China is one of your biggest buyer of timbers, are you complaining about that?. Over a certain period, there was a massive outflow of Vietnamese workers over to Shenzhen, thus sending their income back to Vietnam - no complain too?. Listening to your explanation tell me that Vietnam wish to earn money on every sector of industries but complain when they are face with competition?.

[@two02ful]

He is paid to preach USA Janet Yellen holly gospel of China subsidies it steel industries so China can sell it steel at lower price and therefore cause damage to Vietnam steel industries.

[@Geoff020650]

This guy is talking crap. Vietnam is equal to only one of China's provinces. VN lacks stable electricity, infrastructure, educated population and workers to compete aggressively. That's why VN clings to China so closely. The ambivalent love/hate with China means VN needs Chinese companies and business to prosper, why the first nation to visit Xi after his inauguration of a third term was VN's premier. With this inflow of Chinese companies and the ever growing trade, lifting the VN peoples' living standards VN is on the right track. Compared with the US who comes and only lectures and threatens, (and killed so many VN in 1960) China is a saint.

[@Uncommonsense999]

It seems like the purpose of his nonsensical anti Chinese rant is to wards the end of his video where he is trying to promote his consulting business for western companies navigating the VN economic landscape. Probably most of these “dumped” Chinese steel are used for VN infrastructure and the VN steel can be imported to the West bypassing tariffs against Chinese steel. A win for VN by playing both sides.

[@smosabi7415]

Folks want low price for a long period of time (price and stability). If the low price is unfair (due to subsidies) with the goal of driving the competitors out of business then it is not good. Why? when there is few competitors then whoever left dictate the flow of goods and prices. They can then throttle production to boost prices and you are now under control by "them"....

[@andrewv5316]

sure, in the short term there may be price instability but it is difficult to believe that China is the only steel producer in this world. So in the long term the market will correct itself so let supply and demand take their course. Lower price is always good for the consumers.

[@andrewv5316]

btw, when materials are at lower price, this provides more incentive for companies to invest as the video stated that the number of metric tons of imported steel has gone up. Imagine if the government slaps a 70% tariff on the imported steel, do you think that the companies would continue to purchase the same amount of steel?

Cheap Chinese steel is precisely what is enabling Vietnam's construction boom. Cheap Chinese steel is also a major driver of Vietnam's GDP growth and the rise in living standards of Vietnamese people. If Vietnam's top priority is economic development and prosperity for its people then it would be a very unwise move to impose tariffs on Chinese steel. It would in general be a very bad idea for Vietnam as an emerging and booming economy to follow in the footsteps of the US with protectionist policies that hurt its own growth and development...

[@ColinTan]

China stopped their incentives for steel a few years ago. There have been quite a lot of mergers for the better managed companies to take over unprofitable ones. It's no longer Baosteel, it's now called Baowu as the weaker Wugang was taken over. The main reason for the cheaper chinese steel is sheer scale, even then the smaller Chinese producers will not survive. Worldwide this has been happening as well, Nippon steel merged with Sumitomo metals about a decade ago. The root cause of all this was reckless expansion of steel capacity by chinese provincial governments.

Actually, overcapacity in the steel industry has been a problem for a long time now. All the major steel producing countries got together some years ago, and agreed to voluntary cuts. This led to older steel factories in China being closed down, leaving the newer more efficient ones.

[@timtong1795]

Artificial cheap prices with the intent to drive competitors out of business is far from helping everyone - it can be a disaster to the future VN economy. It may help in the short term, the consumer but hurt them more later. Not ony could the VN company go bankrupt, but all the "supply chain" companies that relate to that company also go bankupt. The economy of Vietnam may look fine today but if the issue is not addressed with good policy, it can quickly turn bad. Implementation of whatever corrective policies should have a system of checks and balances. Even a good design, if not implemented properly or by incompetent people, is the same as a bad design. So the need for checks and balances. Checks, reports monitoring, and balances (ie. multiple eyes verify ) also allow to adjust and improve the design -- as all plans will require changes/adjustments to be successful..

China and Russia has been friends of VN in times of need. remember the Vietnam war. 7. the government of VN has the right policy to be friends with all powers. 8. lastly, competition is good. may the more competitive country win. as i stated before all countries provide subsidies for critical industries. look at the chips act in the USA or the farming industry. they are given billions to support those industries. the current government policy has worked quite well. no need to change.

I'm not exactly keen on China's tactics but logically all your arguments here sound disorganized at best. China has already been producing cheap steel and if US tariffs just push the excess supply up so that the price drops, then it is more like a unintended consequence between US and China rather than a deliberate conspiracy against Vietnam. This just sounds like alarmist rhetoric, this is not to say that China does not use manipulation for its own benefit only that this particular situation does not seem to be centered around Vietnam. So aside from that there are enough ways to play the availability of cheap steel to where if they reverse the price directly the negative impact of that can be mitigated, the mid tech manufacturing and real estate could become unaffected by just using futures contracts or something like that. For real estate in Vietnam, aren't the majority of it's problems right now due to something else? Where is the steel supply disruption if the price is still so low? Is there a systemic failure in the commodities market such that deliveries are failing?

[@HunterByeden]

i dont normally leave multiple comments but this is a rare occasion. (1) Vietnam has cheap labor, thats why factories are moving from china to vietnam for the lower cost, in this case you need to have the cheapest energy and raw material to be competitive in the global stage. if china has cheap steel, clearly it is more competitive than Vietnam's raw material industry. the only smart move would be to design and sell processed good, which also pays more and more profitable. the view stated here is honestly very basic/limited understanding of how global market works. 2) raising tariffs normally leads to trade retaliation. so if you do raise steel tariff, all it does is it dampens Vietnams growth by raising end product cost, there are other cheap labors in South East Asia, Cambodia, Thailand and etc. Factory will just move to a different country. Also, China will raise tariff in an area where Vietnam has competitive advantage, which then hurts the country even more. The whole point of global commerce is so that each local region can adapt, grow and become an expert in an industry, is a free market, free competition and the best wins, which leads better choices and lower costs for end consumers. 3) bro, you are honestly repeating western (american) talking points. America is clearly in decline, slow at first, but when critical mass is reached, the decline will be dramatic and sudden. China is leading the world, honestly it doesn't hurt to have better relations, especially since China is your neighbor. 4) this open hostility is not good for investment. I was thinking of planting some roots in Vietnam, but if this is general sentiment of the country, I rather invest in a country with less political risk. i.e Indonesia, Malaysia or Thailand.

Vietnam nationalism has a very large anti-China component that causes people to say and do things that are far from rational, as illustrated in this youtuber video. Vietnam nationalism wants to see any dealings with China as Zero-Sum. Make investment plan accordingly.

China has already been warned by the USA that 100% tariffs are coming for automobiles out of Mexico etc. Just the beginning.

China always up to no good trying to sell products at competitive prices. Hope Vietnam can see through this obvious rouse by buying more expensive steel from other countries. Vietnamese consumers will definitely appreciate apartments made with non-Chinese steel. Vietnam should use this opportunity to put up lots of trade barriers on all Chinese products and ban Chinese FDI which is just another way the CPC is trying to destroy Vietnam. Vietnam also needs to deal with its over capacity in durians. Vietnam produces way more durians than the country can possibly consume on its own. China should open an anti-dumping investigation.

@@duongglobalbusinessconsultingif I am manufacturing steel products in Vietnam, then having the cheapest source will lower my cost and increase my profit when I export my finished goods aboard. Compared to China, Vietnam has still a lot of cheap labour, imo, as a business, using cheap raw material and cheapest labour will produce the highest profit. That is why a lot of companies are setting up factories outside of China in Thailand/Vietnam. Americans clearly want to take down China, that’s why they are spreading a lot of tension between China and its neighbouring countries. Unfortunately, China did get caught in these situations with Japan, Phillipines and now looking like Vietnam. America is clearly in decline, and is responsible for so much of the chaos in the world. China prior to the provocation has shown it wants to invest in other countries via Belt & Road Initiatives. I believe the tide in the world is changing slowly, once it reaches critical mass, things will change dramatically suddenly. China is your country’s neighbour, and it is a global superpower. I think it would be difficult to challenge China head on with what you are suggesting. There are always ways to prosper together in harmony. From what you have shown me in your past videos, Vietnam’s is clearly a country with great potential, but if your view really reflects the view of your country, it will effect many investors, myself included to invest in a more neutral country in the region, specially atm Thailand.
