Sino-Vietnamese Border Fence
China is building a two-meter-high wall on the Sino-Vietnamese border to prevent people from fleeing. In October 2020, the media reported that the Chinese Communist Party was building a border fence hundreds of kilometers long on the China-Vietnam border. The wall was more than 2 meters high. It was said to be to prevent people from fleeing. The China-Vietnam land border is 1,300 kilometers long.
If it were not for the invitation of local enterprises, it would be difficult for workers from China to find jobs in Vietnam. Many labor-intensive industries have withdrawn from China and moved to Southeast Asia such as Vietnam, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, and even India. These areas are affected by the transfer of Apple and Samsung, and their local labor force is fully employed.
On the territory of China, Dongxing City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, located in the southern border, has a very special geographical location. Because it is along the border, along the river, and also along the coast, it is the intersection of the starting point of China's land border and the end of the coastline, and it is separated from the largest and most open Special Economic Zone of Mong Cai Port in northern Vietnam by the Beilun River. It is the only one between China and ASEAN. Port cities connected by land and sea. Due to its geographic location, Dongxing has developed into China's most rampant smuggling border town in the past ten years.
From Dongxing’s Sino-Vietnamese border to Nanning, there is a “smuggler’s trail” known to smugglers. During an unannounced visit from Dongxing to Nanning, a reporter from the "Daily Business News" found that in a complete Dongxing smuggling ecosystem, "global traders", "importers", insurers, and bulk carriers are indispensable, and each is entrenched.
Since the launch of the crackdown on smuggling, the customs anti-smuggling police stationed here, and a 5-meter-high solid steel fence stands on the river embankment. The boundary river protection corridor was completed in the first half of 2019, with a total length of nearly 4 kilometers and an investment of more than 6 million yuan. After it was completed, it effectively blocked the illegal entry and exit of this section of the border.
The protective facilities of the Boundary River Corridor are in place and the control measures are obvious. However, in Wanding, not all borders currently have conditions to build such isolation facilities. According to reports, the border protection and isolation facility similar to the one-kilometer boundary marker has only been constructed in Wanding for about 10 kilometers.
When the CCP criticized the United States for building a wall on the US-Mexico border, it said, "The wise build bridges, and the fools build walls." Critics attacked the shield with their spears and asked the CCP: "If this is the case, why do you want to build a 'network firewall'" Then quickly dismantle the "firewall"!" Of course, the CCP never responds to such questions raised by the people based on facts, because they cannot respond at all.
However, the CCP’s criticism of the U.S. construction of the wall has not yet ended. China itself also built a border wall that is hundreds of kilometers long and more than two meters high on the Sino-Vietnamese border to prevent Chinese people from working in Vietnam.
The role of walls can be roughly divided into two types according to their uses. One type of wall is mainly to prevent people from entering, such as: courtyard walls, city walls, and walled walls. These are self-protective defensive walls; and the other A kind of wall is to prevent people or animals from going out, such as the Berlin Wall, the prison wall, or the fence built to raise pigs, horses, cows, sheep, chickens, and ducks... It belongs to the fence wall, that is, the wall that restricts rights or actions. Of course, in addition to various physical walls, there are also virtual "network walls".
The high wall, which is hundreds of kilometers long, cannot be built overnight, from planning to decision to construction. In other words, it is very likely that at the same time the CCP criticized the United States for building the wall, it had already begun planning or building the Sino-Vietnamese border wall.
