President Biden’s visit to Vietnam is aimed at solidifying a “comprehensive strategic partnership” between the two countries, without causing any harm to China’s Communist government, as reported by Politico. During a press conference in Hanoi, Biden emphasized that the United States has no intention of containing China or causing any harm to the country. The President’s visit to Vietnam follows his participation in the G20 summit in India, another nation that shares borders with China and plays a significant role in countering its aggressive actions in the Indo-Pacific region, according to the New York Times.
Over the past five months, President Biden has actively engaged with China’s neighboring countries to strengthen US relations. He has welcomed the President of the Philippines to the White House, hosted a state dinner for India’s Prime Minister, and held meetings with leaders from Japan and South Korea at Camp David. All these diplomatic efforts have resulted in closer ties with the United States. The upcoming agreement to be signed in Hanoi will elevate the US to become one of Vietnam’s closest partners, despite the country’s complex relationship with China. A senior official emphasized that this agreement signifies a fundamental shift in the United States’ relationship with Vietnam, which also faces pressure from China.
President Biden’s remarks during the news conference in Hanoi were intended to send a message to China. He stated that the United States is a Pacific nation and made it clear that the US will not back down. The President’s comments aimed to dispel China’s claims that the US is adopting Cold War-like strategies by restricting certain investments. Biden emphasized the importance of developing a balanced and positive relationship with China, rather than viewing it through the lens of the Cold War. As part of his visit, he is set to announce initiatives to help Vietnam reduce its reliance on Russian arms. (Read more President Biden stories.)
