Yeah mate, I have no fooking clue either. That's why I'd say getting into a market with ample supply is better but as Vietnam that sounds like you've got little choice.
If you can, use a treaty to have a resource transfer. It might be impossible because few countries will likely agree to an exchange due to opinion modifiers and that they refuse to trade things they have a shortage of.

I personally think the global market is genuinely bad and cannot compete with simply entering a resource rich market.

I did the Denmark run I posted a few pictures of and I couldn't tell you, at any step, if the world market or the bloc market was supplying me with what I was using and selling.
I agree that if you don't have yellow rocks or lead you're locked out of half of the game.
