The United States and Vietnam have signed a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, marking a significant upgrade in their relationship and a united front against China. With the aim of countering China’s influence in Asia, this partnership holds potential for improved business deals, reduced reliance on China, and enhanced diplomatic cooperation. However, challenges exist, including Vietnam’s human rights record and the delicate balance needed to maintain relations with both the US and China. The US is strategically expanding its network of alliances across Asia, surprising China with its rapid diplomatic successes. Meanwhile, Vietnam seeks to warn China against encroaching on its territorial claims in the South China Sea while maintaining a delicate balance. As the US and Vietnam strengthen their ties, it remains to be seen how this partnership will shape the dynamics of power in the region.
