The Italian Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam (ICHAM) is delighted to release the fifth episode of its podcast series “EXPERTS’ TALK”, created to explore the dynamics shaping Vietnam’s role in today’s global economy. This episode addresses one of the most urgent topics for businesses worldwide: the long-term consequences of U.S.–China tariffs and the opportunities they open for Vietnam as a strategic investment hub.
Joining us is Carlo Fabrizi, Founder and Secretary General of the Vietnam China Trade & Investment Consortium (VCTI). With professional experience across Vietnam, China, India, and Italy, Fabrizi brings deep knowledge of international trade, finance, and manufacturing. He is fluent in five languages, holds a degree in Chinese Law from Sun Yat-sen University, and established his own B2B brokerage firm in Vietnam, where he supports global enterprises in implementing “China + 1” strategies.
In this episode, Fabrizi provides valuable insights into how tariff pressures have driven Chinese companies to expand into Vietnam, ranging from billion-dollar industrial projects to smaller e-commerce ventures. He also explains how recent policy changes have eased entry conditions for Chinese investors, reinforcing Vietnam’s role in global supply chains. For European companies, these shifts present both challenges—such as higher labor costs and aggressive price competition—and new opportunities to leverage China’s market experience as a reference point.
At ICHAM, we believe informed dialogue is key to strengthening business strategies. EXPERTS’ TALK offers a space where leading voices share their perspectives on Vietnam’s evolving business landscape. We invite you to tune in to this episode with Carlo Fabrizi to better understand the global trends influencing Vietnam’s economic future and to reflect on how they may shape your own business journey.
