Chinese investment inflow becoming stronger with higher quality: Insiders

Sunwoda is not the only Chinese enterprise to show interest in Vietnam. Last year, a delegation of Chinese businesses came to northern Hai Phong city to discuss projects that they want to invest in.
In early August, within the framework of a trade promotion programme in China, Hai Phong leaders presented investment licences to a series of projects worth nearly 200 million USD. Many memoranda of understanding were also signed for investment cooperation for other large-scale projects.
This reflects the recent trend that investment from China has been pouring into Vietnam, especially since China decided to lift the Zero-COVID policy in early 2023. Statistics from the Ministry of Planning and Investment showed that in 2023, Chinese enterprises registered to invest 4.5 billion USD in Vietnam, a year-on-year increase of nearly 80%.
In the first seven months of this year, the figure hit nearly 1.65 billion USD, which is a positive figure despite a decrease compared to the same period last year. In terms of capital, China ranked fourth among the countries and territories investing in Vietnam in the Jan-Jul period. However, the country topped in the number of new projects which accounted for 29.7% of the total.
Along with traditional areas, over the recent years, Chinese firms, including those from Taiwan and Hong Kong, have invested in large-scale projects in technology and electronics in Vietnam, evidenced by the presence of BYD, Goertek, and Foxconn.
Minister of Planning and Investment Nguyen Chi Dung held that the quality of Chinese investment in Vietnam has been considerably improved. In the past, Chinese-funded projects were mainly in the fields of textiles and footwear, but now they have been expanded to the fields of technology, electricity, and electronics.
Earlier this year, Victory Giant Technology Group decided to invest in a project to research, develop, produce, and trade high-precision circuit boards, with an investment capital of more than 800 million USD in Bac Ninh. Meanwhile, BYD Group is still continuously expanding its investment in electronic component manufacturing. Currently, BYD's Phu Tho factory is producing components and accessories for the Apple.
At the same time, Runergy Group is working on a 440-million-USD project in the production of semiconductor components, including silicon bars and semiconductor wafers in Nghe An. Runergy plans to increase its total investment capital in Vietnam to 1.2-1.4 billion USD. Power China, China Rare Earth Group, and Haosen Electronic Battery Company are also among the Chinese enterprises planning new investment projects in Vietnam in the near future.
Vietnam welcomes Chinese investors in the fields of high technology, renewable energy, supporting industries, electronic components, electric cars, electric batteries, essential infrastructure, international financial centre building, green finance, smart cities, ecological industrial parks, and free trade zones. These are industries that China is strong in and Vietnam has demand and development potential, the minister said at a seminar with Chinese businesses.
In his visit to China in June, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh met with many large firms of China and called for their investment in transport infrastructure, urban railway projects, and high-tech projects in Vietnam.
Minister Dung expressed his hope that Chinese firms will promote the technology transfer and help Vietnamese businesses enhance their production capacity and engage more deeply in the global value chain.
The growing Vietnam-China relations is considered a favourable condition for Chinese investment to continue its strong flow into Vietnam with a higher quality.
