Xi Jinping has urged Vietnam to resist “unilateral bullying” and uphold free and open trade, as he begins a high-stakes diplomatic tour of the region’s major export-reliant economies in a bid to position his country as a stable partner in contrast to the United States.

In his quiet moments at night, China’s President Xi Jinping probably can’t believe his luck as President Donald Trump lights fire to the U.S. economy and topples its standing in the world. Look, no one in Asia’s biggest economy is enjoying Trump’s one-man tariff arms race.

Xi Jinping has warned there will be “no winners” from Donald Trump’s trade war as the Chinese president embarks on a diplomatic tour of Southeast Asia this week. The warning was delivered in an editorial jointly published in Chinese and Vietnamese media ahead of a trip which experts say Xi will use to portray his country as a “responsible” superpower—in contrast to the United States under President Trump.
