Vietnam will likely import many parts from China. otherwise mass production is difficult, price too expensive to sell.

Maybe he shouldn’t start the war.

Netanyahu is desperate. Israeli expensive “Iron Dome” is helpless against Iran inexpensive drones swarming attacks. On a televised address to the nation he said the gov of Israel has made an official request to Vietnam gov for aerial antidrone system VCU5-EMP.

The Vietnamese VCU5 system generates a powerful electromagnetic pulse EMP which just lasts a fraction of a second,
capable to paralyze drone swarms.

Breaking China's Grip: Lynas Forges Rare Earth Supply Chain with Vietnam Venture​

27.03.2026 - 04:26:27 | boerse-global.de
Lynas Rare Earths and LS Eco Energy launch a $60M Vietnam JV to process critical minerals for US magnets, challenging China's 90% market dominance and securing Western supply chains.

Lynas Expands Rare Earth Metals Push With Vietnam Partnership

Western nations are intensifying efforts to secure alternative sources for critical minerals and reduce their strategic dependence on Asia. In a significant move toward this goal, Australian miner Lynas Rare Earths has announced a pivotal joint venture that will establish a new processing facility in Vietnam, directly challenging China's overwhelming dominance in a key production segment.

Strategic Partnership and Capital Commitment​

The company has entered into a comprehensive framework agreement with South Korea's LS Eco Energy. As part of the deal, each partner will invest approximately A$30 million via convertible bonds to fund the construction of a new plant. This facility is specifically designed to address a major bottleneck in non-Chinese supply chains: the metallization process. Here, rare earth oxides are converted into high-purity metals, a step currently controlled by Chinese processors who command over 90% of the global market. The new capacity is crucial for securing the production of permanent magnets, essential components for electric vehicles, wind turbines, and defense systems.

Building a Dedicated U.S.-Focused Pipeline​

Scheduled for commissioning in the fourth quarter of 2026, the Vietnamese plant will initially produce samarium metal. Subsequent expansion phases will add capacity for neodymium-praseodymium (NdPr) and heavy rare earths like dysprosium. The venture's output is strategically earmarked for a planned magnet factory of LS Eco Energy's parent company in the U.S. state of Virginia. This creates a specialized, China-independent supply chain stretching from Australia to the United States.

So, does Vietnam want to play another India to Israel, and then shun away by all Asians ? Hope you guys make wise decision, looks Israel is desperate now.

Who other Asians?
I don’t know what India wants with Israel. It’s a weird combo. The US as superpower is finished. As for Vietnam, as stated in the military doctrine we are neutral, we really don’t care.

V-GREEN, an EV charging infrastructure provider that was spun off from Vingroup, plans to invest 10 trillion Vietnamese Dong (around $380 million) to deploy EV charging stations in Vietnam.

The Vietnam News Agency reported that the company plans to build 99 EV charging hubs along national and provincial highways across Vietnam by the end of this year. Each hub will be equipped with up to 100 charging points, each with a maximum capacity of 150 kW. All stations will rely on renewable energy, stored in battery energy storage systems developed and produced by VinFast, Vingroup’s EV brand.

“With 99 hubs in place, VinFast customers can travel long distances with full confidence, even during peak periods,” said Pham Thanh Thuy, Chairwoman and CEO of V-Green.

V-Green has big plans—by 2028, the company aims to deploy 500,000 charging ports in Vietnam, and to expand into international markets.
