Chinese President Xi Jinping's three-nation visit to Southeast Asia begins in Vietnam, where he warns against the consequences of a trade war and advocates for multilateralism and open trade. Highlighting the disruptions caused by recent tariffs imposed by the US and the importance of stable supply chains, Xi seeks to reinforce China's commitment as a reliable regional partner. His visit aims to strengthen economic relations, with around 40 agreements anticipated to be signed, focusing on collaboration in infrastructure and other sectors amidst balancing acts between US and China influence in the region.
During his visit, Xi Jinping emphasized that a trade war leads to no winners and that protectionism is counterproductive, urging Vietnam to safeguard multilateral trade systems.
Xi's tour is not only about strengthening ties; it also emphasizes China's role as a reliable partner in contrast to the US trade policies affecting Southeast Asia.
