Chinese XI calls for Vietnam to oppose “bullying” when Trump plays more tariffs

Chinese President Xi Jinping urged Vietnam to oppose “unilateral bullying” to preserve the global free trade system – although he stopped the name of the United States.

This comes when si is on the so -called “magic” on southeastern Asia, which also sees Malaysia and Cambodia.

Despite the fact that the trip was long planned, it has gained enhanced value after the rise of the trade war between the US and China. Last week, Vietnam collided with US tariffs up to 46%before Trump administration released a 90-day pause.

US President Donald Trump has called the SI meeting with Vietnamese leaders to find out how to “twist the United States.”

According to the state media Xinhua, Si told the Secretary General of the Communist Party of Vietnam Lam to “jointly oppose one -sided bullying.”

“We need to strengthen strategic determination … and maintain the stability of the global free trade system, as well as industrial and supply networks,” he said.

Stephen Olson, a former US trade negotiator, said the SI comments were “a very insightful tactical step”.

“While Trump seems to be determined to undermine the trading system, it positions China as a trade-based trade defender, while staining the United States as a reckless nation,” he added.

Speaking to the journalists in the Oval Cabinet on Monday, Trump said he did not “blame” China or Vietnam, but claimed that they were focused on how to harm the United States.

“This is a wonderful meeting. The meeting is like an attempt to figure out how we twist the United States?” said Trump.

The two largest economy in the world has been recorded in an escalated trading battle, and the Trump administration puts a 145% tariff on most Chinese imports earlier this month. Later, Beijing responded to his own 125% of the tariffs for American products coming to China.

On Saturday, the US Customs notice found smartphones, computers and some other electronic devices that will be expelled from the tariffs by 125% on the goods that enter the country from China.

But later, Trump died on social media, saying that there was no release for these products and called such reports of the false message. Instead, he said that “they just move to another” bucket “tariffs.

Si arrived in Hanoi on Monday, where he was welcomed by well -wishes, waving Chinese and Vietnamese flags.

He then met the main Vietnamese officials, including the country’s Secretary General and Prime Minister Fama Mina.

Earlier on Tuesday, Si visited Mausal Mi Mink to take part in the wreaths ceremony at the rest of the former Vietnamese founder and the communist leader.

Despite the visit of SI, Vietnam will be careful to “manage the opinion that it will be able to with China against the United States, as the US is too important a partner to put aside,” said Susana Potton, director of the Southeast Asia program in the Analytical Center.

“In many ways, China is an economic competitor, as well as an economic partner in Southeast Asia,” she added.

Now Si left Vietnam and will come to Malaysia later on Tuesday. He is expected to meet with the King of the country, as well as his Prime Minister Anvar Ibrahim.

This happens when the Malaysian Under Data Mobile Data Company said it would deploy the second 5G network in the country using infrastructure technology from Chinese Huawei and ZTE.

Ms Patton expects Si to continue to reflect the United States as “a partner who is unreliable (and) protectionist.”

Meanwhile, it is most likely “reflecting China in sharp contrast as a partner,” she added.

“Now this is a really golden opportunity for China to kill this victory in the story. I think it’s a visit to Vietnam, Cambodia and Malaysia.”
