Countries to benefit  :   Thailand, Vietnam.     Surely not Taiwan.   

No business one is insensible to move manufacturing from mainland China to Taiwan.  

 

After the virus,   China-South Korea-Japan triangular relationship will vastly improve to the best ever since the war.   There had been quite a lot of occasions  Western news outlet such as Bloomberg have not had the first hand sensible savvy to understand the Asians.

they also keep the machines running after the contract is completed.  say a factory is contracted to produce 1 million north face jackets.  oftentimes the factory will deliver the million, but then produce another quarter million for the domestic market.  to get around the law, they'll print new labels like "Nrth Face" or "North Eace".

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes, and then they sell these on Ebay, and ship the items all round the world.  Same item as the brand name one, same specs, less then half the price.

Since the corona virus outbreak, there has been a lot of talk in Europe about relocating certain factories back home. I think it’s a very good idea. Many big companies are moving out of China to mostly Vietnam. Even Apple are looking in to it. 

There are many Korean companies that have set up factories in Vietnam.  When the virus has finished, I think you will see Japanese companies look to relocate to Vietnam also.

I would not be surprised to see Vietnam jump ahead of Thailand in 10 years. 

I think that will happen with tourism also.

I am quite sure that will happen with tourism in the future.  We are already seeing the numbers.

 

Basically, Vietnam is everything Thailand used to be.

When you think of the devastation of the Vietnam War, to life and property, and how recent it is in history, and then to see how quickly they have rebuilt the country, I can only see them overtaking Thailand in the future.  I would not be surprised if the virus speeds that up.

With a strong baht, why do you think Thailand will benefit?
