Which country do you think is better, Vietnam or China?

你觉得越南好还是中国好？

以下是Quora网友的评论：

I’m not Vietnamese nor China Chinese but am a foreigner who have opportunity to lived and worked in both countries for about 5 years in total. (2 years in HCMC, 3 years in Shenzhen)

My points are merely based on my personal experience and observation maybe lacking of objective and in depth analysis.

Vietnam is like Guangdong province in term of population and size, full of potential for economic development. Similarity however stop here.

Vietnam has not yet unleash her potential fully. The Vietnamese government do not have special policy to unleash her potential like China did in the 80s. When they decided to setup several special economic regions like Shenzhen

我不是越南人，也不是中国人，我就是一个纯纯的外国人，在这两个国家生活和工作了大约5年 (2年在胡志明市，3年在深圳)。

我的观点纯粹基于我的个人经历和观察，结果可能不够客观深入。

越南在人口和面积上与广东省相仿，经济发展潜力巨大。但相似之处也仅限于此。

越南尚未充分挖掘其潜力。越南政府没有像中国在80年代出台过专门政策来挖掘潜力。越南什么时候决心打造几个深圳这样的经济特区呢？

Perhaps in recent year the Vietnamese government had tried introduced similar policy but face tremendous resistance from the local peoples due to land acquisition and nationalism sentiments. The government has to back up on demands. In Vietnam there are many instigators (in the country or foreigners) with motive to destabilize the government, this does not apply China

Land acquisition for economy expansion, China government always reward landowners handsomely. Turn them into millionaire in turn to surrender their land. Many landowners turn millionaire even before developments of the areas take place. However there are some landowners not treated equally but normally their voice could be silenced easily.

也许近年来越南政府也曾进行过尝试，但因为土地征用和民族主义情绪，遭到了越南人的强烈抵制。政府不得不做出让步。越南有许多国内国外的策动者，唯恐天下不乱，中国没有这种情况。

为了发展经济征用土地时，中国总是给予土地所有者丰厚的回报。他们因此一夜暴富，变成了百万富翁，作为交换，他们让渡了土地。当然也会有一些土地所有者没能享受到相同的待遇，但他们的反对声很快就被掩盖了。

In Vietnam, land owners seldom received reasonable compensation when lands taken for developments. This create unhappiness among affected peoples as well general publics. Tension would run high once receive instigations (sometimes external), riot erupts in short times and it is unavoidable, this can be worrisome for investors to bring in good and long term investment and involve technology transfers.

在越南征用土地时，土地所有者很难获得合理的补偿。这给土地被征用的民众中造成了不快。一旦有人煽动(有时是外部势力)，局势就会高度紧张，迅速爆发骚乱，这可能会令投资者担忧，无法下定决心进行长期投资和技术转让。

Now, who is better? It is hard to draw a clear line between them. What we see now is China definitely perform better then Vietnam in term of economy development and expansion perhaps the GDP differences of both country explain this.

 China clearly edged over Vietnam in economy development term in multiple folds.

Who is better? It depends on your own expectation.

现在你觉得谁更好呢？很难轻易决断。我们现在可以看到，在经济发展方面，中国的表现肯定比越南更好，两国GDP的差异也许就可以解释这一点。

中国在经济发展方面明显超过了越南。

谁更好呢？这取决于你自己的期望。

I have lived in both countries, and you can all look at the statistics and say that China is doing a lot better than Vietnam. Its not hard to see that. Both from a statistical or a individual level.

我在这两个国家都生活过，你可以只看统计数据，得出中国比越南好得多的结论。无论是从统计数据还是个人层面，这都是显而易见的。

This is still with a lot of poverty in the west of China and South and North (mainly anywhere outside from the east coast).

China has gone, well regardless of what you think about the stand point or views of the country as a whole business ethics sacrificing people health with pollution ect. What you can’t denied is that the ability to get 400 million out of poverty and in 2019 have near 1 million people a day come in to the middle class is something exceptional that I don’t thing the world will ever see again.

中国的西部、南方和北方(除了东部沿海以外的地区)仍有很多贫困人口。

不管你对中国的立场，对中国环境污染有什么看法，中国都实现了极大的发展。你无法否认的是，中国确实有能力让4亿人摆脱了贫困，2019年每天有近100万人跻身中产阶级，这是非常杰出的成就，我认为其他国家都无法实现。

This is made clear by the picture above Shenzhen (a city next to Hong Kong) that was 40 years ago a fishing village now is the rivaling silicon valley has some of Chinas biggest companies headquarters here (Huawei, ing An, Tencent) and has a GDP bigger than Hong Kong with a population of 15 million. This to me just staggers believe.

Go to Shanghai, you though you gone to the future getting off the airport in the bullet train to the city center. Then looking at its futuristic skyline, on the Huangpu river.

我们从深圳(香港隔壁的一个城市)的照片中就可以清楚地看到这种发展，40年前，深圳还只是一个小渔村，现在已经是可以和硅谷媲美的地方了，这里有一些中国巨头公司的总部(华为，平安，腾讯)，GDP超过了拥有1500万人口的香港。这对我来说简直难以置信。

再看看上海，出了机场搭乘动车去市中心，你会误以为自己跃入了未来。再来看看黄浦江上魔幻的天际线。

Walk down the French concession and you will forget you are in Asia with the European style houses.

走在法租界，目之所及都是欧式建筑，你会忘记自己正踏在亚洲的土地上。

You also have rich culture in China you can go to Temples, the great wall (that is one of the best places I have been) and just be amazed by what it has.

中国还拥有丰富的文化，你可以去参观寺庙，去游览长城(绝对是我看过的最棒的风景之一)，你会为中国的一切而感到震惊。

So from an eccomic stand point China is doing a lot better.

Vietnam eccomy is no doubt growing, at a fast rate and is one of the best in Asia. It GDP per capita is a lot less than China. So from an eccomic point you can’t arguee which is better.

But, here is from a personal level.

所以，从经济发展地位来看中国比越南优秀得多。

毫无疑问，越南经济也正在快速增长，是亚洲最好的经济体之一。越南的人均GDP比中国低很多。所以从经济角度来看，谁好谁坏一目了然。

但是，从个人角度来看。

Having lived in both these places. I prefer Vietnam right now it just hits the sweet spot right now. The people are a lot friendlier and just seem sweet, and nice.

The place is going though a rapid transition, something like China was 15-20 years ago this is no more apparent than Saigon. The city is perfect blend of new meet old.

With its modern sky scarpers, and French like buildings blending perfectly, in a perfect mix.

我在这两个国家都生活过。我目前更喜欢越南。越南人更友好，对人更和蔼亲切。

越南正在经历快速的转型，就像15-20年前的中国一样，这一点在西贡最为明显。这座城市是新与旧的完美融合。

西贡的现代摩天大楼和法式建筑完美地融合在一起。

The coffee shops aren’t Starbucks, and are some of the best in the world. The food is perfectly intertwined with a french Asian twist and the place is still very cheap.

Yes, it’s a bit crazy with all the bikes but this adds to the character of the place. And somehow works out to be reasonably safe.

越南的咖啡店虽然不是星巴克，但却是世界上最好的咖啡店之一。这里的食物把法式和亚洲风味完美地进行了融合，物美价廉。

没错，越南的自行车着实太多了些，但也为越南增添了特色，事实证明也非常安全。

So ask me which one I prefer it will always be Vietnam, as the place is just a magic place.

China is getting harder to live if your from over seas and the trade war has done no favours since 2018 this was the final straw for me. As the place was getting harder and harder to live. You needed a Chinese I.D to get a train or do anything.

所以如果你问我更喜欢哪个国家，我绝对会说越南，因为越南就是个神奇之所。

如果你是外国人，在中国生活越来越难了，2018年贸易战的爆发简直就是压垮我的最后一根稻草。坐火车，不论干什么都需要出示中国身份证。

As I’m Vietnamese, I will tell you in which case, Vietnam is better:

English usage ( more popular )

Social network, internet ( not any restriction or banning, and very cheap to get data package )

Beaches ( it’s not so hard to find a seaside town with great beaches in Vietnam )

Tropical fruits ( China imports a lot from Vietnam )

Foods. It depends but if you need to reduce your weight, Vietnam is better. In Western world, you feel familiar with frozen foods, but Vietnamese use fresh ones everyday.

我是越南人，我想说说越南在哪些方面更好：

英语普及度更普及

社交网络，互联网，没有任何限制，流量非常便宜

沙滩(在越南可以轻松找到拥有美丽沙滩的海滨小镇)

热带水果(中国从越南进口了大量水果)

食物。因人而异，但如果你想减肥，越南绝对是更好的选择。西方世界对冷冻食品见怪不怪了，但越南人每天都要吃新鲜的食物。

If I have to choose to live as a citizen in Vietnam or China, I will choose Vietnam. If there’s Vietnam, why China have to be in my list?

Well, I’ve never met both China Chinese nor Vietnam Vietnamese before, so I don’t know their exact personalities.

如果要我在越南和中国之间选一个定居地，我会选择越南。如果有越南可以选，为什么我还要考虑中国呢？

我以前从未见过中国人和越南人，所以我不知道他们性格究竟如何。

Vietnamese are more tolerant rather than Chinese. I often heard about Indonesian Quoran who said that Chinese is racist toward brown/black people, they’ll act cold to us except we have western husband or what should I called it. Well, Vietnamese also quite tolerant when it comes to religion activities, knowing that about 80% of them doesn’t have religions. Well, this not bad at all for me, because they’re still tolerant to other religions.

和中国人比起来，越南人更大度。我经常听到quora印尼用户说中国人对棕色人种和黑人有*族偏见，他们对我们十分冷淡，除非我们嫁的是西方人。越南人在宗教方面也相当宽容，大约80%的越南人没有宗教信仰。这对我来说一点并非坏事，因为他们对其他宗教也很宽容。

Vietnam also popular with their “everything is cheap”, foods, and other things in Vietnam are cheap (From what I heard).

越南因为“物价低廉”广受好评，据我所知，越南的食物和其他一切都很便宜。

While both countries have an abundant and young workforce, Vietnam is still the more cost-effective choice for manufacturers looking to lower their labor spending.

China's rising labor costs, combined with an increase in tariffs, make Vietnam a desirable option by comparison.

Overall, I would say: I would say Vietnam is better, if you are lazy or want a simple lifestyle. If you are materialistic and ambitious, China is a better option.

虽然这两个国家都拥有丰富而年轻的劳动力，但对于希望降低劳动力支出的制造商来说，越南是成本效益更高的选择。

相比之下，中国不断上升的劳动力成本加上上涨的关税，使得越南成为一个理想的选择。

总的来说，我想说：如果你希望悠闲度日，简单生活，越南会是更好的选择。但如果你是一个享乐主义、雄心勃勃的人，那么中国是更好的选择。

plainly shocked by the audacity of whoever asked this question. Really feel sorry for whoever actually tried to answer this kind of questions. Really.

我被提出这个问题的人的无耻程度吓到了。我也为那些答题者感到遗憾。真的。

I have never lived in either one as an adult and, as a result, can't give you an honest opinion about neither. However, on the international stage, being a Chinese will get you a bit more of an exposure than being a Vietnamese.

谢邀。

作为一个成年人，我从来没有在这两个国家生活过，所以我不能给出坦诚的答案。但是在国际舞台上中国人比越南人常见得多。

From 2011–2017, there are 17452 transnational marriage cases between Vietnam and China(from government records, excluding human trafficking and illegal immigration data). The number of marriage registrations between Vietnamese women and Chinese men is 15,210, and the number of marriage registrations between Vietnamese men and Chinese women is 2,422, on this crowd, the vast majority of children choose Chinese nationality(China does not recognize dual citizenship).

Therefore, the people of the two countries gave the answer with practical actions.

2011年到2017年，越南和中国之间一共有17452例跨国婚姻(来自政府记录，不含人口贩卖和非法移民的数据)。越南女性与中国男性进行结婚登记的人数为15210人，越南男性与中国女性进行结婚登记的人数为2422人，在这个跨国婚姻人群中，绝大多数子女都选择了中国国籍(中国不承认双重国籍)。

所以，中越两国人民用实际行动为这个问题作出了回答。
