The Hanoi lines are built with funds from all over, but the current line is constructed and funded primarily by the Chinese development bank with some money from the Japanese development bank.
The Ho Chi Minh City line is being constructed by Japan alone. All of this is part of a South East Asian development program I believe. There's cooperation between all the involved states and it doesn't seem to be a competition or anything.
Both lines have gone over time and over budget, but the Hanoi line is the first one to start carrying passengers.
I wonder where they got the rolling stock from. That train looks very similar to current Japanese metro trains.
china I guess
