During his week-long tour of Southeast Asia, Chinese President Xi Jinping emphasized China’s role as a responsible global power amid trade tensions caused by US tariffs under President Trump. The tariffs have significantly affected trade relations, prompting predictions of an economic downturn in the region. In Vietnam, Xi highlighted the need for cooperation among Southeast Asian nations to ensure stability. Analysts like Zachary Abuza suggest that Xi's assertions position China favorably against US policies, portraying it as a stronger, more reliable partner for economic stability in this turbulent global environment.
Xi Jinping described the world as being at a 'turning point of history' and emphasized the need for cooperation between China and Southeast Asian countries.
Zachary Abuza noted that Xi is capitalizing on the growing discontent with the US and presenting China as a stabilizing force in the region.
