The president of the company said that Chinese furniture was very cheap, but Vietnamese consumers increasingly preferred high quality furniture.

Recently, about 10% of tourists cancelled their plans to travel to China.

According to reports from other Vietnamese media, the products made in Thailand to some extent replace the position of Chinese products in the Vietnamese market, because the quality of Thailand products is higher. Chinese products Although its price is 30% higher than that of Chinese products, it is still loved by Vietnamese people.

Chinese imports have been boycotted in the Vietnamese market. In addition to consumer goods, some heavy industries manufactured in Thailand are also entering Vietnam.

Xiaobian believes that although Vietnam's economy has achieved rapid growth in recent years, in general, the purchasing power of ordinary consumers is still limited. Vietnamese people say that Vietnamese people are tired of cheap and low quality Chinese goods, eager to use high quality goods, and prefer to pay more money. These remarks are exaggerated, and they are also a cover to hide Vietnamese nationalism.

Xiaobian, when attending the 115 Canton Fair, heard more than one foreign buyer saying that the quality of Chinese goods is improving year by year. There is even a buyer, China has a strong manufacturing capability, and only quality price can be purchased.

Therefore, it is necessary to remind Chinese enterprises to be careful when investing in Vietnam and trade with Vietnam, and to guard against possible changes at any time.
