It's hard to imagine just how crazy the Vietnamese are about making things in China. Many Vietnamese consumers buy mobile phones, hair dryers and even a packet of latiao and a candy bar exclusively made in China.
And it is best not to be China's export goods, but to "mainland goods". That is, the goods that are not exported themselves, but only sold in our country, because the Vietnamese feel that the quality is higher.
For example, a few cents a pack of latiao, spicy squid and small fish in Vietnam, the price of up to 30,000 Vietnamese dong, equivalent to 9 yuan. There are also POTS and pans on sale in domestic 2 yuan stores, which start at 10,000 dong in Vietnam.
Now Vietnamese people buy these small goods, either in Ali Express or 1688 and other cross-border platforms, or find a special back and forth between China and Vietnam "purchasing".
A middleman selling Chinese notebooks in Ho Chi Minh City revealed that she usually has no stock, customers order 10 units to start, but also pay 50% of the cost, she will go to China to pick up the goods, and the freight to buy home.
This is the mentality of Vietnamese people, who used to worship Japanese goods and now kneel down to lick Chinese made goods.
A similar phenomenon can also be seen in China more than 10 years ago, when Chinese people went to Japan to travel, and actually snapped up toilet seats and rice cookers in shopping malls, feeling that the quality of domestic sales is higher than that of exports.
However, today, Chinese consumers have become more confident and began to look at imports rationally, but Vietnamese have not got rid of this "bad habit", in fact, this is the impact of a country's manufacturing industry developed or not.
