This article the ways that the industrialization of Vietnam has influenced the formation of East Asian regional identity in Vietnam. For this purpose, first, I describe the international economic relationship between Vietnam and foreign countries before and after the reform policy called Doi Moi that conditioned the life of Vietnamese industrial workers.
