In the span of three months, presidents of both the US and China have visited Hanoi. From the visits, numerous trade and investment deals were signed. Politically and economically, Vietnam stands to gain from closer ties with the US. As President Biden continues to de-risk from China, American businesses are shifting their operations and manufacturing from China to Vietnam. But camaraderie with Washington could jeopardise Hanoi’s relationship with Beijing and Moscow. Why are the superpowers courting Vietnam, and can the Southeast Asian country balance the competing wants of rival titans?

Biden, Jr. today held a Summit with President Xi Jinping of the People’s Republic of China (PRC), in Woodside, California.  The two leaders held a candid and constructive discussion on a range of bilateral and global issues including areas of potential cooperation and exchanged views on areas of difference.

REMARKS

WENDY R. SHERMAN, DEPUTY SECRETARY OF STATE

BROOKINGS INSTITUTION

WASHINGTON, DC

FEBRUARY 15, 2023

Good morning everyone. Thank you, Suzanne, for that introduction, and thank you to the team at Brookings for organizing today’s discussion.

You know, when we first talked about doing an event tied to your Global China program, the topic was, in a sense, evergreen. We could have planned this conversation virtually anytime.

The People’s Republic of China, the challenges it poses, the stakes for global norms and values, the strategies and policy choices demanded from the United States and our partners — these questions have stood front and center from the moment President Biden took office.
