Vietnam: New President Tô Lâm, Immediate China State Visit & USA Rejection "Non-Market Economy"- E467

Valerie Vu, Founding Partner of Ansible Ventures, and Jeremy Au discussed:

1. New President Tô Lâm: The death and state-mandated mourning period for Vietnam's former Communist Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong culminated in the swift elevation of Tô Lâm from the Ministry of Public Defense to President. This transition exhibited the controlled and planned nature of political leadership where political changes are orchestrated to ensure continuity and stability within the government.

2. Immediate China State Visit: Tô Lâm's chose his first official international visit to be China, where he and his delegation signed 16 key agreements spanning commerce and logistics. Vietnam's strategic "bamboo" diplomatic posture aims to strengthen ties with China amidst regional geopolitical tensions. The agreements also reflect a deepening of ties in areas critical to Vietnam’s economic and infrastructural development.

3. USA Rejection "Non-Market Economy": The U.S. Commerce Department disappointed Hanoi by continuing to classify Vietnam as a non-market economy country subject to punitive anti-dumping duties. Only 12 other economies are labeled as non-market by Washington, including China, Russia, North Korea and Azerbaijan. This status hampers Vietnam’s ability to absorb foreign direct investment and engage fully in international trade, especially with its largest trading partner, the U.S.

They also discussed local cultural influences on business practices, regional infrastructure developments and the relocation of manufacturing from China and other countries to Vietnam.
