Despite the long-distance cross-border delivery, Chinese products are sold at competitive prices in Vietnam, often lower than what local stores can offer. A resident of Ho Chi Minh City, Duong, experienced this first-hand when she ordered a mini hands-free portable neckband fan from a Chinese online store on Shopee.

Kim Viet’s involvement in teaching Vietnamese stems from her deep love for her homeland. She is committed to preserving and passing on the value of the Vietnamese language to younger generations of Vietnamese people. Seeing Vietnamese-Americans gradually neglecting their mother tongue and the lack of Vietnamese languag...
