[HO CHI MINH CITY] With the US-China trade war showing no signs of abating and global supply chains still facing disruptions, Vietnam has become a major beneficiary as more companies are shifting a portion of their production out of China.
As more of these power-hungry manufacturers set up shop in Vietnam, the country is facing greater pressure to cope with their energy demands.
