Pham Van Thinh, a retired police chief in northern Vietnam, reflects the transformation of his village where LG's factory thrives. The economic boom has significantly uplifted lives here, marking a stark contrast to their previously modest existence. From a once-poor community focused on rice fields, it has evolved into a bustling town of over 30,000 residents, illustrating the impact of global trade and manufacturing shifts following tariffs imposed on China.
The influx of factories in northern Vietnam is a direct result of U.S.-China trade tensions, particularly after President Trump's tariffs on China. This has propelled Vietnam into the spotlight as a favorable alternative for manufacturers seeking to escape economic constraints in China. The accelerated growth has not only created jobs but has also catalyzed the development of new industrial parks that house various foreign companies, predominantly from China, further integrating Vietnam into the global supply chain.
