China’s Xi on visit to Vietnam months after Hanoi strengthened ties with US

Al Jazeera  

President Xi Jinping’s first state visit to Vietnam in six years seeks to deepen ties between the communist neighbours. China’s President Xi Jinping is in Vietnam for his first state visit in six years, seeking to strengthen ties between the communist neighbours as Hanoi deepens diplomatic relations with Western countries. Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Wang Wenbin said Xi’s visit would involve discussions on “bringing China-Vietnam relations to a higher position”. During Biden’s September visit, Vietnam and the US jointly warned against the “threat or use of force” in the South China Sea. In an opinion piece published in Vietnam’s Nhan Dan newspaper before the visit on Tuesday, Xi wrote: “Asia’s future is in the hands of no one but Asians.” A “community with a shared future” between the two countries would have strategic significance, he added, while warning against rising “hegemonism” in the world, an apparent reference to the US, though he did not name it.
