Research Abstract |
The political and economic relations between China and Vietnam have developed dramatically since the Sino-Vietnamese rapprochement in 1991. However, the presence of China along the Vietnamese side of the border area as well as in the northern part of Vietnam is still not so great in spite of its rapid economic growth. We can point out some fectors on that matter through our three years' field research in Vietnam and China : 1) The Chinese people (in Guangxi and Yunnan) are inclined to seek for a transnational economic development while the Vietnamese pay much more attention to the economic development only in the limited area near the border. 2) The Vietnamese side has only a few local government offices to accept planned investment from China. 3) The Chinese local governments have rights to decide their foreign trade policies independently while in Vietnam only the central government can decide every policy related to foreign trade. 4) It took much time (4 to 5 years) for the Vietnamese government to draw out a general policy on the border economic areas, following some experimental policies applied to some of the border areas including Mong Cai, Lang Son, Lao Cai and Cao Bang. Along with the abovementioned situation on the Sino-Vietnamese border area we should also put our mind to its dynamic aspects : In inland areas such as Lai Chau province and Jin Ping county (Yunnan) the officials of the neighboring local governments share in a trans-regional economic development strategy along the Yunnan-Lai Chau-Lao corridor. Although it is not clear how the Vietnamese government would deal with such claims of the local officials but certainly there is still a possibility of the regional reintegration along the Sino-Vietnamese border.
