Genocidal Chinese dictator Xi Jinping arrived in Vietnam on Monday for a state visit whose top priority appears to be ensuring Hanoi’s support as Beijing faces soaring tariff rates meant to limit its influence on the American economy.
The fellow communist country received Xi with a lavish ceremony in Hanoi. Xi, in turn, addressed the Vietnamese people in a column published by the national newspaper Nhan Dan in which he emphasized their identities as “friendly socialist neighbors” and asserted that a “tariff war will produce no winner.”
While the “tariff war” comment is primarily a reference to ongoing tensions between Washington and Beijing over President Donald Trump’s policies to strengthen America’s industrial competitiveness, it could also have been intended as a reference to Vietnam increasing tariffs on Chinese steel products just as Trump announced tariffs on nearly every American trade partner on April 2, which he dubbed “Liberation Day.”

Perhaps trying to pry them away from Trump’s influence and tariff negotiations?
China launders goods through Viet Nam for export to US.
FTA-—Xi Jinping arrived in Vietnam on Monday for a state visit......his top priority appears to be ensuring Communist Hanoi’s support as Beijing faces soaring tariff rates meant to limit its influence on the American economy.
Xi got a lavish ceremony in Hanoi and addressed the Vietnamese people in a column published by the national newspaper......he emphasized them as “friendly socialist neighbors” and asserted a “tariff war will produce no winner.”
Yep, XI spreading around some promises to insure this outlet is still viable.
Keeping up the grift. As Navarro pointed out, China “boxes” their crap product and labels it “Vietnam”.
So, Vietnam in order to reach the parity they want from US— needs to stop doing that and covering up all kinds of “origin” info for China so they won’t have any tariffs on those products. The Chinks are there to enforce the scam.
Hint: Vietnamese are traditional enemies of the Chinese- esp. the Han which is what Xi Ping is. Vietnam war was a proxy war for control of Vietnam— which Russia “won” and China lost, for this very reason.
Exactly, and their spies are telling them the Vietnamese aren’t playing any more (one of the first countries to offer parity to US— to which needs to be added no more chinese products labeled as Vietnamese). This visit is a threat to the Vietnamese.
Typical stupid crap Commie tyranny— doesn’t work, and has no concept of FAIR trade, let alone Free trade.
He is trying to shore up “his” base.
warning Vietnam not to step on china’s toes or else
He’s hoping that Vietnam will buy the 2 million cr@p TVs a year that won’t be bought by Americans in future.

She told me during the talk that the Chinese don't wash their hair. Shocked,I said to her "is that poor Chinese?" She said "no...rich,poor,all Chinese". She said that it's because they believe that intelligence is located in the scalp so washing their hair reduces their IQ.
She hates the Chinese so I suspect that her view might be tainted by that hatred.
I,personally,have visited China so I'm somewhat familiar with the many aromas found there.
Tut tut looks like rain.
Winnie the Pooh is rallying the commies.
Gagging thinking about that. Please, don't give examples!
Dots connecting money ensues.
Good luck with that.
The Vietnamese HATE the Chinese, and with good reason.
Hosting Xi indicates that Vietnam doesn’t plan to negotiate seriously with us.
