Wang Yi visits Hanoi: 'The three-horse race'
The intense competition between China, Japan, and the United States for influence in Southeast Asia and globally is highlighted by the strategic moves and reactions of Vietnam. China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi's visit to Vietnam on September 10-12, 2021, is seen as a counterbalance to recent US 'shuttle diplomacy.' The visit coincides with Japan's Defense Minister's trip to Vietnam, emphasizing the regional security dynamics. China's assertive actions, including military exercises and vaccine diplomacy, are contrasted with Japan's supportive defense cooperation and the US's growing security partnership with Vietnam. The article suggests that Vietnam should pursue a transparent and balanced relationship with all major powers for its benefit.
The 'Strange yet Familiar' Story Surrounding Vice President Kamala Harris's Visit to Vietnam
Vice President Kamala Harris's visit to Vietnam was marked by a series of 'strange yet familiar' events, including a last-minute meeting between the Vietnamese Prime Minister and a Chinese envoy just hours before Harris's arrival, and the Vietnamese government's seemingly deliberate downplaying of Harris's visit compared to the warm reception she received in Singapore. The article also touches on the Vietnamese public's skepticism towards Chinese vaccines and the Chinese consulate's controversial social media post. It highlights the discrepancy between Vietnam's public diplomatic statements and its actions, particularly in relation to the United States and China, and suggests that the U.S. is seeking a stronger strategic partnership with Vietnam, which the Vietnamese leadership has not openly embraced.
