China is a market with a large total import and export turnover of Vietnam’s goods. Specifically, in September 2022, the turnover has reached more than 132.38 billion USD, accounting for over 23.7%.

Leaders in the ASEAN bloc, including Vietnam, have signed with China the Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement between China and Vietnam.
More specifically, the FTA free trade area was officially put into operation on January 1, 2010. This will be a golden opportunity for many Vietnamese products to boost exports to China.
Specifically, commodities such as: natural rubber, coffee, tea, pepper, cashew, rice, wire and cable, footwear, seafood, textiles, vegetables, wood, plastic, animal and vegetable oils, cassava chips, starch, confectionery and cereal products,…
There are also resources and minerals that are input materials for manufacturing industries that China always needs to import.
The next big plan is to propose with the Chinese market to establish an investment and credit support fund for ASEAN countries with a value of more than 10 billion dong. Support countries in the region to respond to the global financial crisis or future economic difficulties.
