U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken will visit Vietnam next week, Senator Jeff Merkley told a news conference in Hanoi on Saturday, as part of Washington's efforts to move diplomatic relations with Hanoi on to a higher level this year.

Blinken's visit, which has not yet been officially announced, would come after U.S. President Joe Biden had a phone call last week with the chief of Vietnam's ruling Communist Party, Nguyen Phu Trong.

He wants to visit China for some time, but China has denied him and other American ministers and phone call between Biden and Xi. China has no interest in engaging the American gov seriously since they always say one thing in meeting and do opposite thing in action, they never keep their promises, China is fed up with US this kind behaviour. So, Blinken is trying to pit Vietnam against China and encircle China since he cant get what he wants from China now.

There was no US flag when meeting Pham Minh Chinh. Pham is arguably the most powerful man in Vietnam today having almost the same power as Secretary Nguyen Phuc Trong.

Although the Vietnamese govt is corrupt, they are indeed capable and intelligent.

They will not become tools for anyone. On the contrary, they want to benefit from Americans but do not want to give anything.

The North are extremely patriotic while a significant portion South can be treacherous.

Fortunately the army sided with the North.

GoV does not have full power over the army.

Also the recent emergence of the North economically has to do with very close to China supply chain. Most R&D and factory is in the North, while the South is like a Wall Street.

The emergence of Southern hegemony at one time is due to the fact that the South is economically far more powerful. After Doi Moi, the US Vietnamese refugess came return with large amount of investment, using locals as a proxy, bought up huge amount of land.

The geopolitics and economics reality make the North want to be close to China.

Good job slap the Yankees on the faces. China wont let Blinken, Yellen and other ministers to visit China as they requested. Xi and Chinese defence minister refuse to talk to Biden and Austin. Yankees are not trustworthy, they wont keep their promises as always.

What you mean we not giving anything?

We provide an increasing flow of goods to US consumers. They can boycott Chinese goods.

We don’t support Chinese imperialism. We keep our islands, we expand them. That’s good for the US as well.

Win win

Maybe, they want to station US GIs in your country to wage another Vietnam war, thats much easier.

No offense. after 3,000 years China as neighbor we know you in and out. Please keep your propaganda shit to yourself. No, the islands are not yours.

Nonsense, the US army won’t return.
In case you haven’t noticed, we have done lots of good things to the region.
We expelled the UK, French, US military presence out of Indochina. We stopped the expansion of Hinduism, Islam. Otherwise ASEAN today would be a mess like Africa, Middle East where everyone kills everyone. You can try to do similar things in Taiwan, Korea and Japan. Good luck.

Yeah, you can live in your made up BS delusions of China to please your masters the Yankees and Japanese, you people will be rewarded handsomely by them I am sure. If you think the islands are yours, come and take them from China or ask your daddy Yankees to do it for you, dont just talk with big mouth, I am sure China will take back those islands soon.

Lol, now you pride with BS your country as the saviour of Southeast Asia, just ask the opinions of other Southeast Asians such as Thais, Cambodians and Laotians.
