Summary: | 碩士 === 國立政治大學 === 亞太研究英語碩士學位學程(IMAS) === 104 === Chinese companies have sent Overseas Direct Investment to other countries, as part of the government policy “Going Global”, and one of the practices they have is to carry many of their own workers with them, instead of filling these jobs with local employees, as expected for foreign investments. For the case of Vietnam, the identifiable reasons found in this research on why it happens are first, the need of communication and other special skills from employers; second, that actually not all plants where Mainlanders work are from China, but from Taiwan as well; third, there are changes and gaps in the legislation about migration and work permission in Vietnam that are taken as advantage by Chinese employers; fourth, practices in their own way by Chinese when it comes to business and management; fifth, Mainland workers receive their salaries in bank accounts in China, to save for their families and in foreign exchange; and last, during the research it was found the opposite phenomenon of Vietnamese workers crossing the border to work in neighbor provinces in southern China, earning lower wages after long working hours, among other issues. The first part will focus on theories on foreign direct investment; the second part will talk about the economic growth of Vietnam after the Doi Moi or policy of opening to foreign investments in 1986. The third part will refer to the China “Going Global” Policy and the controversy around the employment of Chinese migrant workers in these projects in different countries. The fourth part will describe the reasons and tensions between Chinese and locals and the reasons for the arrival of migrant workers employed in Oversees investments projects in Vietnam. The fifth part will discuss the findings around the hypothesis and the latter part will set up the conclusions.
