In fiscal years 2009 through 2014, U.S. agencies’ financing for exports to, and investment in, Vietnam totaled about $205 million, compared with at least $4.5 billion in Chinese financing, according to the Department of State.
In 2007 through 2012, China’s reported FDI of $1.2 billion was more than twice the United States’ reported FDI of $472 million, according to available data.
