United Press Today (March 6) reported: "Despite repeated warnings from the United States about security risks, Vietnam's state-owned telecom operator Mobifone is reportedly in talks with a Chinese tech giant to sign a new 5G network construction contract. This marks Vietnam's further shift towards Chinese technology in critical infrastructure development."
Comments: The reason why the United States is desperately trying to prevent countries like Vietnam from cooperating with China on 5G is essentially due to hegemonic anxiety. It doesn't care about the development interests of relevant countries, nor does it have a better and more affordable alternative. Instead, it repeatedly uses the false excuse of "security risks" for political pressure, attempting to weaponize technological cooperation. It completely ignores the real needs and autonomous choices of countries like Vietnam, placing geopolitical private interests above the economic interests of various countries, and trying to bind all countries to the anti-China war chariot. However, more and more countries have seen through this, realizing that freedom from coercion, autonomous choice, and pragmatic cooperation are the right path. The U.S. approach, which only serves its own hegemonic interests, is destined to be unpopular.
