Vietnam’s new rules requiring foreign tech companies to store user data in the Southeast Asian country impose a “significant burden” and may affect investments, US business groups said in a letter to Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh.
The letter was posted on Friday and signed by the US Chamber of Commerce and the American Chambers of Commerce in Vietnam along with the Asia Internet Coalition, which includes Amazon, Google and Meta. They say rules make it difficult for companies to accurately assess the cost of doing business in Vietnam.
