Yep it’s actually mutually beneficial, granted that doesn’t always last for allies of the US, but I doubt we want any of that smoke a second time

I think in this scenario it actually makes sense for Vietnam to play both sides. China has been investing a ton of money into Vietnam in recent years. I’m sure the Vietnamese would like that to continue. Vietnam would also benefit from promoting itself as an alternative manufacturing base for US capital fleeing China. If they can avoid antagonizing either side in this conflict, they’ll end up being the real winners.

Where are you getting this saying from lol
