China's trade with the US accounts for only 2.5% of China's total economy, which has shocked Vietnamese netizens, revealing that Vietnam is actually the country that has suffered the most! After more than seven years of trade war, China has already expanded its trade to all over the world and is well prepared for complete decoupling. Knowing that Trump would definitely impose higher tariffs upon taking office, it's necessary to have a backup plan. That's why we are seeking export markets around the world, aiming to sell our goods to every corner of the globe.

Luckily, the efforts since 2018 have not been in vain. Many of our enterprises have already mastered international markets outside the US. It's a brave move to prepare for a complete decoupling and survive boldly, which is inevitable. So when the host mentioned the data of only 2.5%, Americans couldn't believe it. The US's position in China is so light now, which is no longer the same as before. In contrast, Vietnam's trade with the US accounts for 11% of its total economic value, which is quite significant.

If Vietnam loses the US market, it might not lead to chaos, but it will certainly be a major blow. Therefore, Vietnam had to bow to the US first; it had no choice. Otherwise, it really wouldn't be able to withstand it. Moreover, for a small country like Vietnam, facing the US, there is no other way but to bow down.

However, China is a big country, and even if it comes to a situation where both sides destroy each other, it's impossible for China to bow to the US. The Soviet Union, who once bowed to the US, faced a very tragic end, which everyone knows. Therefore, big countries cannot bow down. Once they do, they face the risk of complete disintegration. We would rather live a bit harder and poorer than bowing to the US. The spirit of resistance will always remain.

We will continue to fight with the US, even if it means a trade war that results in both sides no longer trading. We will never bow down. Because we are naturally unwilling to kneel. Chairman said: "The Chinese people have stood up," and he never said we should kneel. We will never kneel, and we don't care if others do.
