This research will analyse how the phenomenon of Vietnamese bride trafficking to China has undergone a political construction process that has made it an existential threat to human security, securitised by the Vietnamese government. This is done using Barry Buzan's securitisation theory, which encompasses six stages: securitising actor, speech act, existential threat, referent object, extraordinary measure, and audience. The research method employed is qualitative descriptive research to explore and understand the meanings given by individuals or groups to social or human problems. The results show that the series of processes successfully traversed by the Vietnamese government, as the primary securitising actor, demonstrates the relevance of Barry Buzan's securitisation theory in this case. The issue of bride trafficking has proven to be more than just a simple crime, but a complex non-traditional security issue. Vietnam's efforts underscore that the securitisation process requires strategic steps and the ability of actors to gain sustainable legitimacy.
