'Chinese turbines will affect power sector’
Ajay Sura, TNN Nov 27, 2012, 02.36AM IST
CHANDIGARH: Dependency on Chinese equipment in power sector may have serious implications on the nation's development, feels distinguished diplomat and former high commissioner to Pakistan G Parthasarthy.
Out of estimated 43,000MW power produced in various power plants in the country, around 17,000MW is done by using Chinese equipment, which is a serious matter, he said. "Chinese never believe in transferring technology and due to sudden failure of Chinese turbines, they have to be sent back to China for repairs, thereby causing huge shortage of power," he said. Emphasizing on reliable equipment in power production sector, Parthasarthy observed, "Morality does not matter for China. The time has come to set our own house in order and be firm with China."

As for rail, Indians will soon beg the Chinese to invest in their country, for the former lack both the technology and the financial resources required to have a modern rail infrastructure.
As for Vietnam, too bad China isn't gonna lend the back-stabbing country a hand any time soon.
Both India and Vietnam can always dream for Japanese investments in this regard. Only question is how much it will cost anf how long the construction etc will last.
Hundreds of billions of dollars plus tens of years of time.
Both are enough to kill all projects!
Let's wait and see.

I am currently in Vietnam, happily seeing a great improvement in everything since my last visit some 10 years ago. People here are still very optimistic despite the current economic slowdown. As for Chinese equipments, many complain about its poor quality and lack of moral. Most people appreciate/embrace either Japanese or German equipments.
So pls don't talk crap, besides Chinese investments are tinny compared to other nations such as Japan. Korea or Taiwan.

Chinese construction contractors delayed projects, DAP fertilizer products produced do not meet requirements base on 1846 standards as stated in the original design and higher fuel consumption rate following commitments.
Ministry of Industry and Trade said that the Prime Minister has decided to project the conditional acceptance to delivery to investors of Vietnam National Chemical Corporation (Vinachem). The party is promoting the necessary procedures for the acceptance and handover was conducted soon.
Meanwhile, the main contractor does not have the financial ability to pay the price premium for the subcontractors so many subcontractors not subject to complete the remaining sections work. In particular, the acceptance between Vinachem and contractors are facing the biggest problems is due to DAP products didn't met to standard No 1846 as originally designed.
Therefore, for more than two years since the first batch baked products, the plant is always in a out of work for maintenance and moderate activity; own factory in 2010 is only reached to 30% capacity. /.

一 一 ... above data looks not good, to attract foreign investments is the most of the most important thing for country developing.
To build the complete industrial system, it will provide more jobs and attract more foreign investments, also more foreign interests.

Dung Quat oil refinery targets 6.5 million tonnes of products
1/6/2013 12:37:21 PM VOV
Dung Quat Oil Refinery to increase its output by nearly 1 mil tonnes.
(VOV) -The Dung Quat oil refinery plans to produce 6.5 million tonnes, a quantity that would earn VND120 trillion and contribute VND16.8 trillion to the 2013 State budget.
This is the highest production goal set by the refinery since it officially entered operation in early 2009.
Economic prospects for 2013
12/29/2012 4:39:42 PM VOV
(VOV) - Leading domestic and foreign economists concur that Vietnam will enjoy stronger economic growth in 2013, provided it controls inflation and accelerates the restructuring of both the banking sector and State-owned enterprises.
Despite the difficulties caused by 2012’s global economic slowdown, Vietnam recorded an encouraging economic growth rate of 5.03 percent.
Alternative scenarios
The Ministry of Planning and Investment(MoIT) has outlined three scenarios for the national economy in 2013 based on the forecasted fluctuations of the local and global markets. The three scenarios assume 2013’s GDP growth rate will hit 5, 5.67, and 6.34 percent.
The second scenario - a GDP growth rate of 5.67 percent and an export growth rate of 14.6 percent - has been judged the most probable
Economists are cautiously optimistic about the international economy, noting the Euro debt crisis is gradually easing and political and territorial disputes are approaching settlements. Japan and the US are both enjoying significant recoveries. Vietnam is thus expecting to attract more foreign direct investment (FDI).
Dr Do Van Thanh, Deputy Director of the National Centre for Socio-Economic Information and Forecast (NCEIF), suggests Vietnam should concentrate on eliminating the national economy’s obstacles to investment and seize the emerging opportunities created by the international business environment’s improvements.
The Government should perpetuate its inflation control and macroeconomic stabilisation policies while maintaining appropriate economic growth and ensuring social welfare, Thanh says.
He also stressed the need to help local businesses through taxation and fee policy measures. Promotional campaigns could boost purchasing power and assist businesses with reducing inventories. Vietnam must capitalise on shifts in the flows of FDI and official development assistance (ODA) from Japan and India into Southeast Asia, Thanh notes.
A group of Banking Academy economists have also mapped out three economic scenarios for 2013. They posit GDP growth rates of 4.69, 5.44 and 6.01 percent, deeming the second hypothetical most likely.
Positive signs
Dr Nguyen Thi Kim Thanh, Director of the Banking Development Strategy Institute, says Vietnam’s 2012 export growth was impressive despite sharp consumption demand declines from key importers like the US, EU, and JapanShe says sustainable economic growth requires Vietnam to prioritise increasing total demand and stabilising the macroeconomy.
Credit growth should be bolstered and business expansion hurdles removed, Thanh says. She thinks the central bank should establish efficient channels of capital and consolidate consumer trust for further growth.
Many foreign economists have faith in Vietnam’s 2013 economic recovery, despite preexisting challenges. They predict the country’s GDP will grow by a modest 5.5 percent in 2013.
Dr Michael Krakowski, Chief Technical Advisor of the Macroeconomic Reform Programme in Vietnam (an initiative of the German development and cooperation organisation GIZ) points to the fact that the Vietnamese Government has undertaken drastic measures to stabilise the macroeconomy and maintain sustainable growth.
The country’s banking and business restructuring processes must continue to protect the future of the national economy. He acknowledges Vietnam’s constant economic reform efforts, its improvements to the business climate, and its investment efficiency increases. He also admires the remarkable results achieved by the combination of bank and business restructures and the shifting growth model.
In the 2013 fiscal year, Vietnam will receive nearly US$6.5 billion in ODA from international donors. It represents the confidence Vietnam’s foreign partners place in the national economic outlook.. ODA loans are valuable resources that help Vietnam address short-term economic difficulties and lay firm foundations for long-term economic growth.
