US President Donald Trump's border wall might be more well-known, but China is reinforcing its own walls along its borders with Vietnam and Myanmar. Here's why.

"[They are] attracted by not only job prospects but also life opportunities associated with fast economic growth, political stability and effective management of COVID-19 by Vietnam, one of their closest neighbouring countries," Professor Ly said.

Illegal immigration is a problem for both countries — last month, Vietnam repatriated at least 29 illegal migrants from China, according to Vietnamese local media. Apart from Vietnam's favourable investment environment, Professor Ly also pointed out that geopolitical factors have impacted the relocation and change in the employment market.

It's not only from Vietnam that Chinese are stealing women from, north Korea is another major source of women for Chinese men desperate to find a wife.

to prevent illegal immigrants from coming in? isn't that normal?

'Built between 2012 and 2017, the $29 million project reportedly stretches 12 kilometres, and is there to curb the smuggling of goods, drugs and people.' So ABC is just rehashing old news now?

Hopefully that’s to stop Chinese men, unable to find local wives because of the culling of female foetuses for years, conducting raids into Vietnam to steal young women for wives.

To keep people in

Because they're preparing for war

They are just finishing of the great wall that was started a thousand years ago

Has anyone done the ‘they think walls are great’ joke yet?

To keep the nasty people out, no one has a problem with border walls they keep your citizens safe. 😜

It's to keep its citizens from escaping.

Our ABC is idiotic again, looking for any little thing which makes China an agressior to its neighbours. But 'our' ABC forgets constantly, that Vietnam is a Socialist country with a Communist government, and a close friend of China Vietnam sees the west as their enemy, not China.

While the ABC hated Trump's wall, I am sure the ABC will give this the tick of approval.
