They seem to always trot out Viet Nam as the trendy new offshoring choice, but I can't inagine that scaling as well, and won't it be tempting for them to use the exact same economic jiu-jitsu China did if the foreigners get dependent?

I wonder if we'll see a new wave of making Latin America a safe harbour for ~~democracy~~ western extractive business? It's more developed than starting from square 1 in Africa or Asia, and the CIA already has a Rolodex full of old friends they can crash with.

My initial thought was Latin America as well.

But maybe it's an unsafe bet as they fluctuate with their Red/Pink waves.
