Abstract:Since the 1990s,many manufacturing workers,who have been trained in Taiwan funded factories in the Pearl River Delta region of China,have moved with the factories to Vietnam as “technical experts” or “management cadres”. These people,who are called “mainland cadres” by the management and they call themselves “Chinese cadres”,start off on the periphery of the manufacturing industry dominated by Taiwan businessmen,and derived “localized” production network. In the process,these “Chinese cadres” respond to the situation,mobilize the power of organization and culture to adjust,so as to realize the “chain transfer and local evolution” of human network and manufacturing production network. By employing the local experience,bottom-level working experience,technology transfer experience,cross-cultural communication experience and so on,they become the key middle-level managers in the “localization” of Chinese manufacturing industry in Vietnam;based on the familism shared by Chinese and Vietnamese cultures,they promote the growth of manufacturing industry in Vietnam in the cooperative as well as competitive relationship of multiple subjects through ways such as the cross-border migration of “fellow villagers and peers” groups,local establishment of cross-ethnic interpersonal networks,and family business driven by “Vietnamese son-in-law”. The “Chinese cadres” thus constitutes the bottom channel connecting Vietnam to the manufacturing industry in East Asia and the global market,and is the dual intermediary of manufacturing industry transfer and cross-cultural understanding.
