Vietnam’s strategy behind China +1 in semiconductor
Can replicate in other items instead of semiconductor, wafers, and chips.

One of first fighter jet pilots that died in Vietnam war came from North Korea.

Tiger, that’s unrealistic. Making aircraft is the most difficult thing ever. Extremely difficult, extremely expensive. There are just few who make them, the US, China, Russia and some in Europe and Asia. Entirely 100 percent can be ruled out.

I think the most feasible way is we copy Mig21 or Su22 aircraft and develop at later stage own aircraft, maybe in 10-20 years. And if even, we need massive technology transfer and high level of imports. Similar way Viettel is doing with the first semiconductor 32nm fab that will make wafers and chips.

Maybe Vietnam can first start copying to produce some fighters from other countries like buying license production from Russian SU-27 or SU-30 to build up its aerospace. China first started producing fighters J-5 by copying MIG-17 in the 1950s, and we are now into J-36 and J-50. But, again Vietnam first needs proper heavy industrial bases to make fighters.

Maybe in 10 years. By then the economy is bigger, industrial base bigger. We will see.
Now only major investments in highspeed railway, semiconductors, and nuclear power plants is on the current 5y gov plan.

The fab is not hard, but only thing matter is that you need to 100% own the entire supply chain in order to achieve 100% technology sovreignty.

The US cannot 100% own the supply chain, but they do control over their weaker allies in order to hold up the entire supply chain.

China doesn't have any technological allies/subordinates, so it has to 100% own the entire alternative supply chain by itself.

Russia has been sanctioned by the west, but they don't have the capability to own a whole supply chain created by themselves, so they have to be reluctantly dependent on China.

Vietnam has to depend on the western supply chain, but if they do sanction on you, then you have to depend on China's supply chain.

That’s not easy even for China to make 100 percent entirely. Unless you possess all minerals, technology, patents, personal, supply chains, etc.
is that realistic? most likely not.
As for Vietnam, as said we need 2 things: money and technology. The rest we try to get from somewhere from someone.

China is nearly 100% right now, and that's why the US has become so precarious in this trade/tech war.

Is there a list where China is self sufficient? At least 90 percent something? I mean not in minerals making like rare earths but finished stuffs like tanks, airplanes, trains, vehicles? I am just curious, in case Trump runs amok in Far East.
 
She tried to make sense what’s the story behind the unprecedented visit of three ministers of China to Vietnam?
Most likely to sync both countries’ security, defense and external politics amid global tensions. Xi Jinping’s southern China as last defense is a very weird speculation.

In the semi-conductor supply chain, China's only weakest point is the lithography machine.

And China is now strengthening in this vital point by deployed its 28 nm DUV machine (it can fabricate the 7nm chips via multiples exposure) in the production line since 2025.



Also the first EUV prototype by 2025, and expect to enter the production line by 2028.



China's manufacturing capability is also unmatched for any country in this planet, and with more than 1 trillion trade surplus annually.

She is a typical anti-China traitor/doomsayer from HK, and as you follow her record, over 99% of her blabbering are simply nonsense and couldn't age at all.
 
First charge of Tensor robot cars made by Vinfast plant is planned to be delivered to customers in UAE in the second half of 2026.
Seems the delivery will be delayed due to the war in Middle East.
