Vietnam Reveals Ambition: Aiming to Keep Pace with World Powers!
Singapore Lianhe Zaobao reported on April 30 that Vietnam Communist Party General Secretary Truong Tan Sang reiterated the determination to fully promote socio-economic development in Vietnam and pointed out that Vietnam is standing at a historical starting point where it can keep pace with 'the great powers of the five continents'.
The ambition of Vietnam is clearly revealed. In recent years, Vietnam's economic development momentum has been strong. In its diplomatic strategy, it has implemented the "bamboo diplomacy", remaining flexible. Amidst the complex international situation where China and the US are fiercely competing, Vietnam is striving to maintain a balance. The US containment of China has prompted some industries to shift, and Vietnam has taken this opportunity to take over a large number of industries, reaping substantial economic benefits. It has become a major beneficiary in the competition between China and the US.
However, playing balancing act among great powers may bring temporary benefits but also harbors risks. The US has always adhered to hegemonism and its style of action is ever-changing. Dancing with the US, Vietnam may inevitably be drawn into great power disputes, and any misstep could lead to trouble, causing damage to its own interests.
