What is the situation of Chinese in Vietnam?

There are currently more than 1 million overseas Chinese in Vietnam (of which there are only a few thousand overseas Chinese), mainly concentrated in Ho Chi Minh City and the Mekong Delta area. There are currently more than 500,000 Chinese in Ho Chi Minh City, and the rest are distributed in the provinces adjacent to Ho Chi Minh City and the Mekong River Plain. Among them, there are about 100,000 in Thu Tan Province, which is relatively concentrated.

Most of the overseas Chinese in Vietnam are from Guangdong and Fujian. Among the Guangdong people, the majority are from Guangzhao and Chaozhou.

Under Vietnam’s reform and opening up policy, the Chinese economy has developed rapidly. But it is basically limited to the catering industry, food processing industry, tourism, shoemaking industry, textile industry, gold jewelry processing industry, construction industry, as well as finance, banking and other service and light industry industries.

There are 1 million Chinese in Vietnam, mainly Cantonese, Chaozhou and Fujian people, mainly distributed in the south. There are 500,000 Chinese in Ho Chi Minh City, and in Ho Chi Minh City, they are mainly distributed in the fifth and eleventh counties. , the fifth county has the largest population, there should be two to three hundred thousand, and the eleventh county has the highest proportion, more than 50%, with more than 100,000 people. The Chinese used to live in a very pitiful life. Vietnam does not recognize them as Vietnamese, and they are not Chinese, there are indeed many Chinese who have lived in Vietnam for a long time but have not become Vietnamese citizens (because I saw that the Vietnamese government recently allowed Chinese people who have not become Vietnamese citizens to apply for Vietnamese citizenship. Maybe these people came from the liberated areas of Vietnam and went to China or abroad. Now back to Vietnam), Chinese cannot enter government agencies, cannot enter news media, culture and other fields, cannot join the army, and are excluded from going to university under many unequal conditions. For example, children of military personnel can get extra points, and children of civil servants can get extra points. The families of martyrs can get extra points...that is to say, as long as they are not Chinese, they can get extra points. How can the Chinese compete with them? The Chinese just live in their own circle. Traditional Chinese culture is maintained better among Vietnamese Chinese than in China. There are many ancestral halls and guild halls in the Chinese circle, such as the Suicheng guild hall, which has a history of hundreds of years. These non-governmental organizations are very rich. I also often do some charity. Vietnam's economic opening has given the Chinese a place to use their skills. The Chinese have better business acumen than the Vietnamese. In the past, the Vietnamese did not know how to do business and learned from the Chinese. Therefore, the Chinese have become rich again. The improvement of their economic status has made the Chinese Their social status is also gradually improving. This year’s Spring Festival, there was a cultural evening show all performed by Chinese people, which was broadcast on Vietnam’s CCTV. This year, Chinese people also began to run for grassroots congressional representatives (that is, our National People’s Congress representatives), which shows that the Vietnamese government is treating Chinese policies are slowly loosening.

Although the Chinese had a low social status in the past, they looked down on the Vietnamese and did not intermarry with the Vietnamese. Anyone who married a Vietnamese would be abandoned by the entire family. If the Chinese and Vietnamese fell in love, it would be A very painful thing. There is one thing that I still can't figure out. I have seen countless Vietnamese Chinese, but I have never seen a beautiful woman. The proportion of beautiful women among Vietnamese women is very high. I think the proportion of beautiful women is higher than that of China. There are very few handsome men among Vietnamese men. As long as you When you see a beautiful woman, you can be sure that the person is not Chinese. But there are still some handsome guys among Chinese. As the saying goes, there is no ugliness in youth, but why can't you find beautiful women among Chinese girls around 20 years old? I really haven't seen any of them. Has anyone seen it? I think the reason may be related to the fact that they do not intermarry with foreign races, because the blood relationship is relatively close, and to optimize the race, they must intermarry with foreign races. I have seen Vietnamese marrying ethnic minorities in Vietnam and giving birth to many very beautiful children.

The native language of most Vietnamese Chinese is not Vietnamese, but Cantonese, Chaozhou, and Hokkien. Cantonese is the main language. Vietnamese is just the language of the environment where they grew up. The vast majority of them do not know Mandarin. Because of the opening up, many Taiwan-funded companies and Vietnam have re-established friendly relations with China. Knowing Chinese can get high salaries, so they started to go to school for tutoring. I have seen that many Chinese people are very difficult to learn Chinese, and they still don’t know how to pretend to understand. No matter They don’t understand what you are saying and will never ask. They just translate it randomly based on the meaning they guess from the tone and gestures, which is often far from what the speaker wants to express. Many of them learned on the job after they entered Taiwan-funded and Chinese-funded companies with a few words of Chinese. They do not value employment opportunities very much, because Taiwan-funded and Chinese-funded enterprises are developing rapidly, making it easy for them to find jobs and change jobs at will. And they will never treat the Chinese as if we are "one of their own". Many people who have just arrived in Vietnam are not familiar with the place, and when they meet the Chinese, they seem to find a sense of organization, but the Chinese will not really help you, and sometimes the Vietnamese will I sincerely help you. The Chinese are very down-to-earth, do it if it is beneficial, don't talk about it if there is no benefit, and they must cash in immediately. If they help you and don't get immediate reward, you won't have to be polite next time.
