Was Vietnam in a good position to take advantage of China's expertise with respect to infrastructure development?

*Do you get the impression that China's FDI in Vietnam is about short-term goals for China or has solid long-term implications for Vietnam?

*What do Vietnam's challenges with education reform tell us about the complications of developing countries adopting imported Western approaches?

*If the highest ranking provinces on the PCIindex do not provide good services doesn't that fit the neoliberal logic that in order to attract investment governments must cut budgets thus reducing services?

*Given the higher per capita level of social welfare resources in rural areas, would Vietnam be more successful than most in preventing rural depopulation AND urban overpopulation (and suppression of urban wages typical of SEZs) here?
