3. Socialist Republic of Vietnam

The Socialist Republic of Vietnam is an Asian country that is one of the most populous regions in the world. It has a $449 billion economy, and its location and cheap labor is leading Vietnam to play a crucial role in the global technological decoupling. This decoupling is seeing U.S. firms shift their manufacturing away from China due to geopolitical tensions, and Vietnam is often the backup location for most firms such as Apple’s manufacturing partner Foxconn. Vietnam is also the world’s largest cement exporter.
