SCE: SOM Steering Committee on ECOTECH | APEC High Level Policy Dialogue on Women and the Economy and Small & Medium Enterprises Ministerial Meeting Joint Session Seattle, The United States | 20 August 2023

NEW YORK -- The Vietnamese electric vehicle maker VinFast now has the third-highest market capitalization among global automakers, behind only U.S.-based Tesla and Japan's Toyota Motor.

The company's shares rose 20% in the U.S. market on Monday and its market capitalization reached $191.2 billion, according to CNBC. The company's U.S. operations have yet to get fully underway, but the EV boom there has led to a rush of purchases by individual investors.

According to FactSet, global leader Tesla had a market capitalization of $760 billion as of Aug. 25, followed by Toyota at $270 billion. VinFast trailed with $160 billion.

Among other major manufacturers, China's BYD and Germany's Volkswagen were at $90 billion and $70 billion, respectively. Despite coming to the EV market late, VinFast has carved out a noteworthy presence in the U.S. stock market.

VinFast was listed on the Nasdaq in mid-August. On the first day of trading, its market capitalization surpassed those of the long-established General Motors and Ford Motor in their home market.

VinFast was established in 2017 and has been in the EV business since 2022. The company posted a net loss for 2022, and although its EV business has yet to become profitable, some expect it to expand in the future. The company has already decided to build a plant in North Carolina.

However, many point to the small number of shares circulating in the market as the reason for the rapid rise in its stock price. Approximately 99% of VinFast shares are held by three companies, including parent conglomerate Vingroup. With few shares available to investors, the stock price is prone to wild swings when investors make even modest purchases or sales.

In Seattle, trade is still all about China. That may be changing

At the twin ports of Seattle and Tacoma, there’s a growing belief: China is the present, but Southeast Asia is the future.
That’s the direction many U.S. importers are taking as they shift their manufacturing from Chinese soil to locations farther south — to Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia, among others. Simultaneously, U.S. exporters are starting to eye that same region as increasingly attractive markets for U.S. goods.
The ports, acting as a gateway to and exit from North America, are at the forefront of this shift. And it hasn’t gone unnoticed.

By sheer value, the Seattle and Tacoma ports and Seattle-Tacoma International Airport saw more goods imported from Southeast Asia in 2022 than ever, at a total of $13 billion. Exports to Southeast Asia, especially from Washington farmers, are also rising, reaching $5 billion in 2022. Meanwhile, the trade values of Chinese imports and exports are declining.
The transition comes in a period of uncertain trade relations between the United States and China, which has long been America’s largest trading partner. China remains the Port of Seattle’s most valuable trading partner by a significant margin, distantly trailed by Canada and Japan.

Manufacturers have been concerned about the possibility of “decoupling” the U.S. economy from China, though senior U.S. officials have avoided using that language . The Trump administration imposed wide-ranging tariffs in 2018 that were largely maintained by President Joe Biden, whose administration has pursued a “strategic realignment” on trade in the Indo-Pacific region .

“We cannot allow countries like China to use their market position in key raw materials, technologies or products to disrupt our economy and exercise unwanted geopolitical leverage,” Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said in a speech in South Korea last year.

On Wednesday, the White House announced new restrictions on U.S.-based tech investments in China . The Chinese government said it "reserves the right to take measures” in response.
“With those constraints, businesses usually are more sensitive than the common people,” said Sihong Xie, a professor of economics at Seattle University. “When trouble comes, then they start to move.”

Imports
Compared with other West Coast ports that are more “import-oriented,” the Port of Seattle has managed to carve out a balance of imports and exports — about a 60-40 ratio between incoming and outgoing goods, according to Port Commissioner Sam Cho. That figure doesn’t look to change, he said.
But trade origins and destinations are shifting.
“Traditionally, our No. 1 trading partner has been China, and I don’t think that’s going to change anytime soon,” Cho said. “But other areas of the Asia Pacific are growing.”

China continues to occupy an outsize position among the countries of origin for goods entering the Northwest. In 2022, over $21 billion worth of Chinese goods came through the Seattle and Tacoma ports and Sea-Tac Airport. However, that figure has steadily declined over the past decade — a 36% fall in U.S. dollar value since 2012.

Meanwhile, the value of imports from Southeast Asia has skyrocketed. Over the same 10-year period, virtually every other Asian trade partner has seen increased trade with Seattle. The value of imports has nearly quadrupled with Vietnam and Cambodia, though they remain a fraction of imports from China.
In terms of market share, Chinese imports, which made up over half of East Asian trade to Washington in 2012, fell to 38.5% last year.

Washington's top import partners in East Asia
Washington imports from China declined in the past 10 years, while other markets in Southeast Asia began to rise.

Peter Ku is a Seattle-based executive for OEC Group, an international shipping company that provides container space on third-party vessels. Ku said he has noticed the shift in manufacturing bases firsthand.

“We have our own offices in China, but China’s changing quite rapidly,” he said. “I just came back from Asia myself, and I spent the majority of my time in Southeast Asia this time. We’re seeing more and more of our clientele moving their businesses now, or starting to move their businesses, to places like Vietnam and Cambodia.” Those countries are prime real estate for companies that want to shift their base of manufacturing outside of China — while being close enough to China to avoid completely disrupting their existing supply chains.

“A lot of the resources that are needed [for manufacturing] are actually still coming from China,” he said. “So, because Vietnam is on the border with China, it makes it easy for them to transfer goods over.”

Seattle-founded REI, for example, sources its products from more than 100 partner factories across the globe — 89 of which are in East and Southeast Asia, according to an online factory list. While maintaining a slightly larger footprint in China — 28 partner factories compared with 22 in Vietnam — its expansion there has been eclipsed by that of its neighbors. Since February 2020, the outdoors retailer has added eight new Vietnamese manufacturers — an increase of 57% over three years — compared with just two in China.

Between 2020 and 2023, REI added two locations in Cambodia (where it previously had none), two more in Indonesia and 14 more in Taiwan. In a statement, REI said Friday it is “constantly adjusting” its overseas supply chain. “Our goal is to offer high-quality gear at a competitive price,” said Cathy Nielsen, REI’s deputy vice president of product operations. “Over the past few years, the co-op has, like many other brands, sought to diversify supply chains in search of greater resiliency."

Brooks Running, a Seattle-based footwear and apparel retailer, is another Washington company that has made “a conscious strategy” of shifting production to Southeast Asia, according to Christophe Mahaut, the company’s senior vice president of supply chain operations. “We do consider the political climate and current issues in regions like Taiwan and China when determining manufacturing partners,” Mahaut said in a statement. “Those factors are something we don't need to consider to the same degree in Vietnam and Indonesia, where they are less prevalent and where we currently have a larger presence.” Brooks now has 16 factories in Vietnam, compared with eight in March 2020. The company’s Taiwanese contractors increased from one to four over that period, and it partnered with a company in Indonesia for the first time. Brooks maintains nine contractors in China.
The two retailers offer similar assessments of the economic landscape on both sides of the Indo-Pacific: Businesses are slowly and surely making the shift to elsewhere in Asia. But the question of why is more complicated.

Ku said that a tense political mood in China has not helped matters, adding that Chinese President Xi Jinping’s steps to address the COVID-19 pandemic, which many criticized as overly authoritarian , alienated many businesses. “It made a lot of international businesses reconsider their exposure in China, because the [Chinese Communist Party] government could essentially change the rules overnight,” Ku said. “For a lot of people, for a lot of businesses, stability is the key. And they’re starting to realize that in China, that could be taken away very easily.”

Somewhat more pressing, though, are the rising costs associated with manufacturing in China. Labor-intensive sectors such as textiles — traditionally one of China’s main exports — have been affected by rising wages.

Lower wages in nearby countries like Vietnam and Cambodia make them significantly more attractive for manufacturers. “At the end of the day, it comes down to cost,” said Cho, the Port commissioner. “China as a labor market is no longer the cheapest in the world. You’re seeing Apple move [manufacturing] to India, [and] Samsung [move] to Vietnam.” “China will continue to produce goods that are consumed [in] China,” he added. “But goods that are being consumed by the rest of the world will likely shift to Vietnam or India.”

Exports
The shift to Southeast Asia is not exclusively in the import market. U.S. businesses also see the region as an attractive emerging market for their goods. For Washington, that means agricultural products such as apples and potatoes.

Washington’s food exports are popular among the growing demographic of young, middle-class earners in Southeast Asia, according to Alexis Taylor, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s undersecretary for foreign trade.

“What we see all over the world when people start having more disposable income, one of the first things they do is they invest in food,” Taylor said.

Asia-Pacific leaders cap off trade meetings with Space Needle summit

Seattle Times business reporter

Four international trade officials took turns hoisting a flag to the top of the Space Needle on Tuesday afternoon, in a gesture marking Seattle’s status as an economic gateway to the Asia-Pacific region.

The unfurling of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation banner was attended by dozens of diplomats and business leaders from Washington and beyond. APEC, an international forum for economic dialogue, is holding a monthlong series of high-level meetings in Seattle that is scheduled to end next week.

“The opportunity to hoist this flag on top of the most iconic structure in our community means so much,” said Brian Surratt, CEO of Greater Seattle Partners, an economic booster that helped organize the meetings. “Thank you for coming to our community and showcasing that we are a global community.”

The celebratory mood atop the 605-foot tower was backlit by the strong afternoon sun, overlooking the glittering Seattle skyline and deep-blue waters of Puget Sound. Far in the background, a Hong Kong-flagged container ship rested at the Port of Seattle, carrying Chinese and South Korean goods for the American market.

Approximately 76% of all Seattle-area trade is with APEC — a group that includes representatives from East Asia, Oceania and the Americas — accounting for, on average, approximately $90 billion a year, according to Greater Seattle Partners. Between 2012 and 2022, APEC member economies invested more than $3.5 billion in Washington, creating more than 8,000 jobs in the state.

The conference comes as international trade in the Puget Sound region is shifting from China to other economies in Southeast Asia. Analysts have attributed the shift to a variety of factors, including political tensions, tariff barriers and rising labor costs. For U.S. businesses and trade leaders, that means an increased emphasis on maintaining healthy trade relations with APEC member states like Vietnam and Malaysia.

Ambassador Matt Murray, the State Department’s senior official for Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, said that the various APEC economies were looking for ways of “facing the economic headwinds,” as the pandemic-era boom in demand recedes and supply chains return to pre-pandemic levels.

“What we really wanted to do was make sure that everything we’re doing in the APEC — on trade and investment, on sustainability, on the digital economy, on supply chain resilience — was reflecting our government and private sector’s desire to meet the moment we’re in,” he said.

Murray noted that the Puget Sound region is unique in its combination of startup culture and established multinationals like Amazon and Microsoft — a spirit that he said is visible even at areas like Pike Place Market. The delegates are scheduled to visit the market on Friday and talk with small-business owners who rely on international trade to source their materials, and international tourism to sell them.

One priority of the meetings has been developing what has been termed the “digital economy.” Organizers worked to integrate Seattle-based tech companies into the conference’s events and discussions, and Murray said that member states have made significant progress in developing shared goals in areas like e-commerce, telehealth systems and cross-border data privacy.

“We’ve integrated digital [discussions] into each one of the six ministerial [meetings] we’ve been holding,” he said. “We’re trying to advance a digital Pacific agenda. If we can get more cooperation from the other economies on working together and setting some good rules and norms for digital economy in each of these areas, I think it will have been successful.”

The Port of Seattle also took an active role in the meetings, according to Port commission President Sam Cho.

“At the Port, we are business development salespeople for our gateway: We say, ‘Bring your carrier, bring your containers to the Northwest,’ ” he said. “This was a rare opportunity where the Asia-Pacific nations came to us. They got to see firsthand ... the innovation and advantages that our gateway offers. And not just from our mouths. They experienced it.”

Deanna Keller, commission president for the Port of Tacoma, added that the ports benefited from engaging directly with foreign trade representatives, especially those who may have been “spooked” by labor issues and slowdowns. Earlier this summer, West Coast ports from San Diego to British Columbia were rocked by threatened dockworkers strikes.

“Here in the Pacific Northwest, we’re open for business,” she said. “We want your business. We want to have trade agreements. We want to break down the political [barriers], the tariffs and things like that. We want to make sure that we’re engaging again with each other.”

The APEC meetings will conclude in Seattle on Monday. A new round of discussions are slated to take place in San Francisco in November.
