How does this make you feel?
Chinese President Xi Jinping is on a three-nation tour of Southeast Asia, aiming to present China as a stabilizing force amidst global uncertainties stemming from U.S. tariffs affecting 185 countries. This visit comes as Southeast Asia, China’s largest trading partner, navigates its own strong business ties with the U.S., with nations like Vietnam and Cambodia seeking negotiations during a temporary tariff pause. Experts question whether Xi’s efforts to strengthen relations with the leaders of Vietnam, Malaysia, and Cambodia can counteract U.S. attempts to isolate China in the international arena.
