China is the world’s second-largest economy and Vietnam’s biggest trading partner. As of July 2024, China leads in new investment projects in Vietnam with 540 projects, totaling over $1.22 billion (according to the Ministry of Planning and Investment).
This increase in investment has driven up the demand for personnel who speak Chinese. Companies are offering salaries of 20-40 million VND per month for positions requiring Chinese language skills (according to CareerLink and TopCV).
In this context, HUFLIT’s Chinese Language major is the “key” that unlocks a wide range of career opportunities, helping you become the bridge between these two strongly connected economies.
