The project began construction on 2009 and was supposed to be completed in 2015, but experienced several delays and the completion deadline was pushed to 2027.

...also the cost constantly got way higher, but getting there 🥲

Nhon - Ha Noi metro contractor is not Chinese company. It's Hyundai (South Korea) - Ghella (Italy).

Also

ODA loan project from Asian Development Bank (ADB), French Development Agency (AFD), European Investment Bank (EIB) and French Government (DGT). Total estimated investment capital is up to 1.2 billion USD. After that, the project continued to increase capital by nearly 400 million Euros. (google translate)

The one from China is Cat Linh - Ha Dong metro and it's the only one metro among below completed and operational since 2021.
