Does everyone also know about the outsize influence China has on Vietnam? If the goal is to de-risk a China / US Trade War scenario and prevent Chinese government from stealing chip tech etc - then you dont get much by going to their pals next door ;)

I wouldn't call China and Vietnam pals. If you look at history, the suspicion/animosity between the two goes back thousands of years.

I don’t think OP meant it a friendly way either. Like under China’s thumb “pals”.
