From what I understand, Vietnam does Indeed have a very good relationship with Qualcomm and Intel
Both being excellent companies
Yes, both VN-US know that making chips are very expensive, so we'd better cooperate to make chips together, so we reduce the chips price.
CN is bad guy in making chips they try to copy/steal chips tech instead of cooperating wt the others, thats why everyone (ASML,TSCM, Intel,Qualcomm) hate CN and stop selling 5nm chips to Huawei.

Vietnam is ready to produce 5G equipment
Regarding the difficulties and challenges in the development of 5G chips and devices, Vinsmart representative wanted the TT-TT to facilitate frequency licensing to test 5G equipment because Vinsmart is only a device manufacturer, not telecom operator. Viettel shared that developing 5G chipset is the most difficult problem is high quality human resources; Therefore, it is very necessary that the Ministry of Information and Communications acts as a bridge, establishing a network connecting Viettel engineers with foreign experts and helping Viettel promote 5G chipset products to domestic and foreign partners. .
Experts from the company Global Foundries Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (USA) said that designing a chipset is difficult, requires large investment and high quality human resources. Therefore, in order to develop this industry, the Government needs to create demand and create a market for chip products designed by Vietnamese enterprises.
The Global Foundries experts also noted that developing chipsets is very expensive, requiring a large investment. Therefore, companies should not develop independently, but should cooperate with each other.
Deputy Minister Phan Tam highly appreciated the efforts of Viettel, Vingroup, FPT to develop chips and 5G as well as valuable experiences shared by Global Foundries experts. The Deputy Minister assigned the IT Department the task of forming a Vietnamese chipset community, connecting Vietnamese chip companies with foreign chip companies. The TT-TT is also ready to take on the role of connecting and promoting cooperation in the field of microchip development, research, and manufacture of 5G network equipment and chips.
Bộ Thông tin - Truyền thông (TT-TT) vừa tổ chức cuộc tọa đàm “Định hướng và giải pháp phát triển chip và thiết bị mạng 5G tại Việt Nam”. Tại đây, các đơn vị Viettel, FPT và Vingroup đã chính thức công bố lộ trình nghiên cứu và sản xuất thiết bị 5G của mình.

You can't answer that means your argument about why building chip fab by licensing is FAILED.
Nope, you also failed in reading the article; it is about independence means that this 28nm is not using foreign equipment (ASML/LAM/Nikon/etc), but fully indigenous equipment; thats why I am telling you it is only China that reach independence in chip fab, because Taiwan, Korea, even US is also using foreign equipment for chip foundry.
whatever, keep believing making 28nm chips is something special, no one care bcs everyone know CN just simply buy machines from ASML to make 28nm chips.
fully indigenous equipment ?? pls show me that equipment. if u cant, then pls be quiet.
