OK， normal Viet people can not control the ODA. But so many Viet people work in Japan or China Company.

You have the right to select the job if you really think Japan or China company is not good , right ?

When u talk abt corruption or normal VNese who dont have real power, pls take a look at ur poor Chinese who even have less human rights than VNese first.

Many Chinese also know that getting 50cent for each post on internet is a waste of Tax for poor Chinese, yeah, but why so many of them still want to get 50 cent of each good post abt Chinese corrupted Govt ??

Vietnam Is Building Its Longest Sea Bridge, Financed by Japan:

HANOI—Vietnam is building its longest sea bridge, connecting the northern region to what will be the country's largest port, as it prepares for a boost in cargo shipments by sea.


The 5.44-kilometer bridge, set to open in February 2017, will link Haiphong City to Lach Huyen Port, which is being built on Cat Hai Island, the Ministry of Transport said over the weekend.


A new highway is being built from Haiphong City to bustling Hanoi, 110 kilometers to the west, which will speed up cargo being moved by trucks between the new port and Vietnam's capital city.


"The bridge, along with the port, will contribute to the socioeconomic development of not only Haiphong City, but also of the whole northern region of Vietnam," Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung said in a statement posted on the government website.


The handling capacity of all seaports in northern Vietnam is below 100 million tons of cargo a year, but demand is expected to increase to between 146 million to 176 million tons a year by 2020, the ministry said.


Lach Huyen Port is expected to handle 35 million-to-50 million tons of cargo a year by 2020.


The Lach Huyen Port, set to open in 2016, will be able to handle large cargo ships that can go directly from Vietnam to Europe and the U.S., making the country's exports more competitive.


The port also can serve as a transit point for exports from Laos, a neighbor to the west, and southern China, to the north of Haiphong City.


Cargo ships from Vietnam usually must travel via Singapore, Kaohsiung and Hong Kong. The reason is that most of the seaports in Vietnam are small and unable to accommodate larger vessels that can cross oceans. As a result, small cargo ships carry goods between Vietnam and the ports that can handle larger ships.


The current port in Haiphong City can accommodate vessels of up to only 20,000 deadweight tons. Lach Huyen Port will be able to accommodate ships of up to 100,000 deadweight tons.


The cost to build the bridge and its approaching roads is estimated at roughly $564 million, of which $478 million is being funded by Japan in the form of low-interest loans, the ministry said. A consortium of Japan's Sumitomo Mitsui Construction, Vietnam's Truong Son Construction Corp. and Civil Engineering Construction Corp. No. 4, won a contract to build the bridge and its approaching roads.


Japan has been one of the largest providers of official development aid, including grants and low-interest rates, to Vietnam over the past decade. Most of the loans go to infrastructure projects, and Japanese companies often have been awarded construction contracts.


According to the transport ministry, Vietnam has completed 18 key transport infrastructure projects using $2.34 billion in grants and soft loans from Japan since the early 1990s.

With all these projects, gawdamnnn, i must admit, Vietnam will have one of the best infrastructures in ASEAN by 2020-2025.

Vietnamese people and Japanese benefit. As you already know, we're expecting to stay in Vietnam long, long, long term.

While we're going to be in Vietnam, we might as well take advantage of world-class infrastructure.

@Nihonjin1051
Your government is turning the Vietcongs into debt slaves with these infrastructures.

We need to. Since there's over 1,200 Japanese businesses in Vietnam. We need to make sure the infrastructure is agreeable to maintain the effectiveness and time-table of the supply chain. Afterall, time costs money.

No, they just hope to weaken us, so that we cant unify Sub-Mekong region, and they also can earn more benefit from our corrupted Govt. Even great country like Soviet or even China-US also cant turn VN into debt slaves.
