The following lists are an attempt to differentiate the foreign studios from the Vietnamese and Chinese. However, it is sometimes not possible to make a clear distinction between Vietnamese and Chinese names and some errors may therefore appear. Hopefully, these can be corrected over time as more information comes to light.
