I didn't say Chinese tourists don't spend even $1 in VN. I said the local economy benefits little from them. If they make a food purchase on sidewalk vendors or a coffee at Starbucks, they still spend some money. Not enough to boost the economy, but enough to support the sidewalk vendors for that day.
The Vietnamese government (or rather, some people in the government) pay attention to Chinese investors to benefit their pockets. They pay attention to Chinese tourists because the tourists are part of the agreement they have with the investors.
Hmm, That makes sense.
