There is no need to scold Vietnam for its rapid decline. In 2024, Vietnam's per capita income will be about $2,700, or less than $225 per month.
Even if Vietnam reduces its import tariffs on the United States to 0, Vietnamese people cannot afford American-origin goods, which will not have any impact on their own industries, and of course will not help the United States reduce its trade deficit.
The same is true for other economies with low per capita income. Since it does not harm themselves, why not give them some face?
Only Taiwan has knelt in the mud. Lai said before that Taiwan is a chess player, not a chess piece. When it is really his turn to play chess, he will give up 5 pieces at the beginning. #美国加征关税
