It's not only how good these individuals' training is, it's what they can do with that training under Vietnamese conditions 
It's good to have high powered technocrats who were trained abroad: they come back with certain expectations as how thgings need to be done and how governance is supposed to work. The only way that we can hold our own against our competitors if not beat them outright and pull our own weight with respect to our trade partners is to learn to do things the way they ought to be done - This means improved governance and improved accountability. Otherwise, we lose and we lose badly.

Agree with BlackLight. You would need people who have the gut to stand up against the corrupt systems in the face of threat while holding onto their morale.
