Xi Jinping's diplomatic visit to Vietnam marks a strategic move for China, aiming to showcase its role as a responsible superpower amidst U.S. tariff challenges. Following recent actions by President Donald Trump that have intensified trade tensions, Xi seeks to reinforce alliances in Southeast Asia and advocate for a stable, multilateral trading system. Notably, his third visit to Vietnam since becoming president emphasizes an attempt to counteract U.S. tariffs and solidify economic ties with neighboring nations such as Malaysia and Cambodia, presenting an alternative to U.S. trade policies.
Xi's visit this week lets China show Southeast Asia it is a responsible superpower... China also can work to shore up its alliances and find solutions for the high trade barrier that the U.S. has on Chinese exports.
There are no winners in a trade war, or a tariff war... Our two countries should resolutely safeguard the multilateral trading system.
Xi's trip likely was planned earlier, it has become significant because of the tariff fight between China and the U.S., the world's two largest economies.
The trip to Vietnam, Malaysia, and Cambodia is all about how China can really insulate itself against the from Trump.
