Easier border crossings help Vietnamese workers

NANNING - Every morning, Beilun Bridge swarms with thousands of Vietnamese commuters passing through the Dongxing border port on their way to work in China.

The border bridge links the city of Dongxing in the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region with the northern Vietnamese city of Mong Cai.

As an important border port, Dongxing provides a major trade link between China and Vietnam, as well as other members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.
