Open for business: Vietnam's economy gets big lift from Taiwanese

Article Abstract:

Taiwanese investors are already fully operating companies in Vietnam despite the US trade embargo still in force, and Japanese and European investors still hesitant. Ching Shing Textile,for example, got its investment licence in early 1991, then brought in $1 million worth of factory equipment in a small factory building in nearby Ho ChiMinh City. After training 400 workers, production of underwear and poloshirts went up for export to Japan and Taiwan. This is just one of the 70 investment licenses acquired by Taiwan which accounts for 1/4 of the total foreign investments.
