On the evening of August 28, MG Vietnam shared a video on their official fanpage announcing the launch of the MG7 and providing an overview of their dealership network across the country. However, the video sparked controversy as it featured an incomplete map of Vietnam, notably excluding Ha Giang province, which shares a border with China and is home to the iconic Lung Cu Flag Tower, located at the northernmost point of the nation.
Following the backlash, MG Vietnam promptly removed the video and issued an apology on their fanpage, acknowledging the seriousness of the mistake and taking responsibility for their oversight in coordinating with their video partner. The post also included a corrected map of Vietnam, emphasizing the inclusion of Ha Giang province.

The apology statement from MG Vietnam read, “We recognize the severity of this error and admit our negligence in coordinating with our video partner, resulting in the display of an inappropriate map. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.”
The post garnered numerous comments expressing disappointment and concern over the significant oversight, especially regarding Vietnam’s sovereignty. The comment section on the MG Vietnam fanpage post has since been locked.
MG, originally a British car brand, was acquired by the Chinese automotive giant SAIC in 2007. The company re-entered the Vietnamese market in 2020 with the MG ZS and HS models, followed by the introduction of the MG5, RX5, MG4 EV, and most recently, the MG7.
 This month, MG is offering an incredible deal on their popular RX5 model. With its sleek design and impressive performance, the RX5 has captured the attention of drivers across the country. As MG’s featured promotion, the RX5 promises an unparalleled driving experience, delivering both power and style.
