Couldn't be further from the truth.
- refurb 10y agoBased on the people I know from Vietnam, I'd agree. Politics is deeply entwined with private industry in Vietnam. Want to get a gov't permit? You better know someone to help you out. Running a company that's competing with another company who has connections with the gov't? You're screwed.
- taugao 10y agoThe environment has been improving. I run foreign owned company in VN and we haven't had to deal with any bribery. Policies have been changed to make it easier to start a company. That's not to say things aren't still messy and inefficient; but in general the corruption isn't evenly spread throughout every industry.
