They seem to always trot out Viet Nam as the trendy new offshoring choice, but I can’t inagine that scaling as well, and won’t it be tempting for them to use the exact same economic jiu-jitsu China did if the foreigners get dependent?
I wonder if we’ll see a new wave of making Latin America a safe harbour for democracy western extractive business? It’s more developed than starting from square 1 in Africa or Asia, and the CIA already has a Rolodex full of old friends they can crash with.
