Is Vietnam just 10 years behind China? What do I always hear about this from Vietnamese youths, recently?

As a Vietnamese person, let me tell you the truth from a Vietnamese perspective. Vietnam is inferior to China in nearly all areas. Don’t look at the limited data of GDP and GDP per capita; look broadly at all aspects.
作为一个越南人，让我从越南人的角度告诉你真相。 越南几乎在所有领域都不如中国。不要看GDP和人均GDP的有限数据;在所有方面都是如此。

Education: Vietnam does not have any University of the top 1000 in the world, while China has 2 universities in the top 50 in the world. Beijing and Tsinghua University. The distance is too big.
教育:越南没有一所大学进入世界前1000名，而中国有两所大学进入世界前50名。北京大学和清华大学。距离太大了。

Transportation and infrastructure: Vietnam does not have any subway or high speed train. 2 metro lines, in Hanoi, built by China, in Ho Chi Minh City built by Japan. China has built the world’s largest bullet-train network cand has 9 of the 20 largest seaports in the world.
交通和基础设施:越南没有高铁。两条地铁线路,在河内由中国建造，在胡志明市由日本建造。中国建立了世界.上最大的高铁网络,拥有世界上20个最大港口中的9个。

The quality of Chinese roads is so good, I think maybe comparable to the United States, while roads in Vietnam are quite bad. After several years, the roads have been damaged, mainly due by corrupt officials and abating materials.
中国的道路质量非常好，我想可能可以和美国相提并论，而越南的道路非常糟糕。几年后，道路被破坏，主要是由于腐败和材料减少所致。

Industry and technology: Vietnam is bad, very, very bad. In manufacturing industries, almost all machinery components are imported, Vietnam does not produce anything at all. If Vietnam can produce, it will not compete well with products from China and Taiwan.
工业和技术:越南很糟糕，非常非常糟糕。在制造业，几乎所有的机械部件都是进口的，越南根本不生产任何东西。如果越南能够生产,
它将无法与来自中国大陆和台湾省的产品竞争。

Military: While China is the third largest exporter of weapons in the world and sells weapons to 60 countries, Vietnam’s arms manufacturing industry is virtually anonymous; many Vietnamese know nothing about Vietnam’s arms manufacturing industry.
军事:中国是世界第三大武器出口国，向60个国家出售武器，而越南的武器制造业几乎是匿名的。许多越南人对越南的武器制造业一无所知。

Vietnam’s metallurgical industry is very bad; Vietnam is unable to produce safe and durable alloys for military and aviation. Don’t believe it? Come to Vietnam and ask Vietnamese people who are working in the metallurgical industry if you want to know this harsh truth.
越南的冶金工业非常糟糕:越南无法生产安全耐用的军用和航空合金。不相信吗?如果你想知道这个残酷的事实，那就来越南问问在冶金行业工作的越南人吧。

Work ethic: I see that the work ethic of Chinese workers is better; Vietnamese people have a lack of discipline, low productivity, and lack of solidarity.
职业道德:我发现中国工人的职业道德更好，越南人缺乏纪律，生产力低下，缺乏团结。

Computer, smartphone, semiconductor: Vietnam has almost nothing and can produce almost nothing by itself. Without Samsung investment, I bet the Vietnamese economy would be much worse.
电脑、智能手机、半导体:越南几乎什么都没有， 自己也几乎不能生产任何东西。如果没有三星的投资，我敢打赌越南经济会糟糕得多。

10 years? Too optimistic. I think depending on the field, Vietnam is more behind China by 10 to 50 years, maybe even 100 years.
十年?过于乐观。我认为在各个领域，越南比中国落后10到50年，甚至100年。

100 years, what is that? I would like to say that is China’s space industry. Vietnam ’s space industry in 50 years will not be equal to China’ S currently.
100年，那是什么?我想说的是中国的航天工业。越南的航天工业在50年内将无法与中国目前的水平相匹敌。
