Taiwan's AU Optronics owns 6,000 patents in LCD display technology. Another 5,500 patents are pending.
Taiwan's Epistar owns 1,000 LED patents.
Taiwan controls 90% of the worldwide sales of notebook computers, because it owns most of the patents for notebook computers.
Vietnam produces FIVE USPTO patents per year. Vietnam cannot enter a single high-tech industry dominated by Taiwan or mainland China.
Every year, Taiwan adds another 11,000 USPTO patents.
Every year, mainland China adds its own 11,000 USPTO patents.
The modern world is controlled by technology patents. Taiwan has them (about 170,000 USPTO patents cumulatively during the last 30 years).
Mainland China has about 50,000 cumulative USPTO patents from the last 30 years.
Vietnam has about 100 total USPTO patents during the last 30 years.
The claim that Vietnam is making any progress in modernization and catching up to Taiwan or mainland China is an absolutely ridiculous proposition and completely laughable.
Industrialization and modernization are extremely difficult. Serving as a manufacturing base for foreign companies and their technologies is easy. However, those foreign companies can choose to move their manufacturing plants and patented technologies to another country at their discretion. Furthermore, profits earned from the exports of foreign patented-technologies belong to the foreign companies.
While Vietnam's exports of computer parts may be increasing yearly, it has no material impact on Vietnam. The technologies and patents of those computer parts belong to foreign Taiwanese and mainland Chinese companies. The profits also belong to the Taiwanese and mainland Chinese companies.
Vietnam is no closer to industrialization and modernization today than it was 50 years ago. Nothing has changed. When a country produces a negligible five USPTO patents per year, it might as well exist in the Dark Ages. There is no improvement in the country's technology.
