The review cannot compel Hanoi to remove them, and Vietnam is simultaneously tightening origin and trade-remedy enforcement. These pressures make Vietnamese production more attractive. Vietnamese manufacturer, Viglacera, stands to gain the most as its 18 industrial parks already host nearly 70 Chinese projects worth about US$3 billion, giving it an established pipeline for further Chinese expansion. Its September Hangzhou roadshow is now targeting another wave of Chinese manufacturers seeking Vietnamese production bases. As Hanoi offers little immediate market-access relief, the result will be deeper Chinese ownership of Vietnamese production.
