Taiwan is a potential market for Vietnam’s manufacturing and exporting industry. In 2021, the bilateral trade turnover between Vietnam and Taiwan reached 20.99 billion USD, up 25.46% over the same period in 2020. With this result, Vietnam continues to maintain its position as the ninth largest partner of Taiwan in 2021, accounting for 2.42% of the total import and export market share, the 7th largest export market (accounting for 3.12% of export market share), and the 13th supply partner (accounting for 1,61% import market share) of Taiwan in the same period. However, such a large amount of Vietnam’s exports to Taiwan constitutes a threat to the country’s domestic market.
According to information from the Vietnam Economic and Cultural Office in Taipei, Vietnam has a total of 12 items that are considered threatening to the Taiwanese market, including:
