There are two points to your remarks. First of all, the statistics in Vietnam are usually open to questions, and secondly, thanks to the foreign investment and the foreign assistance of many countries to Vietnam in the last few decades, GDP has increased significantly, but the distribution of wealth is deplorable. The wealth is concentrated with a small minority. When we talk about GDP per head it will be higher, but when you go into more detail there are sections of the population who would not benefit from that prosperity.
