ASEAN's exports to the U.S. topped those to China for the second consecutive quarter in the April to June period, underscoring America's growing importance to the region as the U.S.-China trade war intensifies and China's economy slows, prompting shifts in global supply chains.
And why is this happening...

"Aside from the resilient performance of the U.S. economy, which implies more demand from most other countries, this [increase] could be a result of pivots in global supply chains away from China since the pandemic,

Pretty soon the powers that be will say Vietnam is our enemy and they are a bunch of commies.

Well, they claim to be Communist.... but the US won't care about Vietnam much, just hope it's not on China's side.

The US always needs a boogieman to help keep the citizens in line.

The gist of this thread is that china’s economy is getting weaker not stronger

So the Middle Kingdom better keep building its military

Because in the future gentle persuasion wont be enough to bring the world under its thumb

You are wrong as usual

We are developing an alliance with Vietnam against china

That's not the gist at all, guy. It just means that SE Nations (most of which are economic trainwrecks) sold more raw goods to the US than PRC last year.

We have buried the hatchet with all our previous enemies, including the Brits

And communist china

Why not Vietnam?

Maybe because unlike previous enemies, they still celebrate killing Americans.
