China’s Xi visits Vietnam weeks after it strengthened ties with the US and Japan

Associated Press  

BANGKOK — Chinese leader Xi Jinping arrived in Vietnam on Tuesday seeking to deepen ties with the Southeast Asian neighbor, weeks after it elevated its diplomatic relations with the United States and Japan. At the meeting with Vietnam’s Communist Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong, Xi announced that the countries would work together to create a “China-Vietnam community with a shared future of strategic significance.” Vietnam has resisted using that phrase in the past, but Beijing is seeking reassurance from its ally after Vietnam designated both the U.S. and Japan as “comprehensive strategic partners,” the designation it uses for China. “These symbolic gestures go a long way to reassure Beijing that Vietnam still sees China as its most important partner,” said Hunter Marston, a PhD candidate at the Australian National University who studies Southeast Asia’s foreign policy. Xi’s visit marks 15 years of China being a “comprehensive strategic partner” of Vietnam. “It’s somehow another term for alliance,” said Nguyen Thanh Trung, a professor of Vietnamese studies at Fulbright University Vietnam.
