From street food vendors to young entrepreneurs, many are eyeing opportunities in boosted tourism and tech partnerships. 🌏💼 With both countries ranking among Asia's fastest-growing economies, this visit could unlock new ventures in green energy, AI, and cross-border education programs.
As dusk fell over Hanoi's Old Quarter, locals joked about future "pho-and-baozi food tours" blending Vietnamese and Chinese culinary traditions. One thing’s clear: When neighbors talk, possibilities multiply.
