New York Times: China supports Vietnam's accession to the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, and the US's Indo-Pacific strategy will face challenges!
July 11, the New York Times published an article: "On Thursday, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with Vietnamese Foreign Minister Pham Binh Minh in Kuala Lumpur. Wang told Pham that China supports Vietnam's early accession to the Shanghai Organization, jointly upholding multilateralism, and safeguarding international fairness and justice. The 'alliance' between two communist countries in Asia will test the US's Indo-Pacific strategy. Rubio must be aware of this, but will he report it to Trump?"
[Witty] Despite Vietnam's recent performance being somewhat poor, China has always extended a olive branch to Vietnam from a strategic perspective. Vietnam wants to expand its international space and enhance its influence, but the choices are limited. The political system of Vietnam determines that it cannot turn towards the West. Although joining the SCO may bring pressure to Vietnam, becoming a formal member of the BRICS is definitely more beneficial than harmful for Vietnam. Will Vietnam be tempted?
The New York Times has such an imagination that it could fit the entire South China Sea! China and Vietnam discussing cooperation turns into an alliance in its writing? China supporting Vietnam's accession to the Shanghai Cooperation Organization is normal multilateral cooperation. The U.S. media clearly is trying to stir up trouble, looking for imaginary enemies all over the world. It is recommended that the New York Times stop making up scripts and look more at the world. Asian countries cooperating is not to bother anyone, just to avoid being told what to do all the time!
