Intel backs Vietnam in $1bn deal

10 November 2006

Vietnam's ambitions to mirror the economic success of its neighbours have been given a boost after Intel said it will triple investment in the country.

The world's largest chipmaker, Intel, will invest $1bn (£522m) building two production plants in a science park outside of Ho Chi Minh City.

In February, Intel said it would spend $300m to develop a single plant.

At the time, Intel's commitment to the fast-growing nation was the biggest investment by a US firm in Vietnam.

3. Sure glad the US pissed away...

58,000 of our lives, a couple million Vietnamese lives, and trillions of bucks to stop Communism in Asia. Now Vietnam is... and should be... at least a trading partner, and maybe even a friend.

When will the people of this country realize that these damned wars are just artificial, made-up bullshit for the capitalist class to make a few bucks and the terminally nationalistic to rally around their flag?

Or....

`I believe that if we had and would keep our dirty, bloody, dollar soaked fingers out of the business of these (Third World) nations so full of depressed, exploited people, they will arrive at a solution of their own. And if unfortunately their revolution must be of the violent type because the `haves' refuse to share with the `have-nots' by any peaceful method, at least what they get will be their own, and not the American style, which they don’t want and above all don’t want crammed down their throats by Americans.' –
