According to researchers, Xi’s choice of Cambodia, Vietnam, and Malaysia from the three Southeast Asian nations reflects a common interest position.
Cambodia has long been one of China’s most steadfast friends in the area. Both nations have maintained a strong ally for decades, helped by rewarding agreements for infrastructure investment and military assistance.  ,
Xi hasn’t been to Cambodia since 2016 and, according to observers, this will be his primary since Hun Manet took business. He also said that the visit in April will aim to strengthen relationships with the nation’s new leadership.
Due to overlapping regional states in the South China Sea, which has fueled US-Vietnam relationships, relations between Vietnam and China have become exceedingly strained.
However, according to Lim, with the latest enactment of large tariffs, Beijing may now have a significant window into bringing Vietnam closer.  ,
” Vietnam, a hub for manufacturing, considers business to be essential to its success. According to Lim,” Its administration is expected to continue with its bamboo geopolitics” approach to international relations ( with China ), adding that Hanoi is likely to “engage in a delicate balancing act between Beijing and Washington to protect its own passions.”  ,

According to observers, China has responded to President Donald Trump’s most recent tariff announcement more firmly and quickly than before, citing how it imposed 84 percent punitive tariffs on American goods only hours after Washington’s duties began to become effective.
The action, which Beijing announced on Wednesday evening ( Apr 9 ) evening and goes into effect on April 10, shows a marked change in attitude, with China no longer appearing to be concerned about losing access to the US for both exports and imports, according to analysts.
China’s State Council Tax Commission expressed regret for the US’s continued trade war, blaming the move as a “grave mistake” in a speech.
The commission said that” the US’s action seriously violates China’s reasonable rights and interests and significantly impairs the rules-based multilateral trading system.”
Observers said that it’s commitment to “fight to the close” in response to combined US tariffs of 104 % on Chinese goods is a significant change from its more optimistic stance in the first year of Trump’s presidency.
China now appears to be prepared to dissociate itself from the US market, drawing on the years of effort it has made to diversify trade, develop strategic plans, and strengthen political resolve, they continued.
Ponder Trump 1.0 as a shock that China was unprepared for. Trump 2.0 is a battle that China has prepared for the past eight years, according to Guo Shan, a companion at Hutong Research in China.  ,
” China is definitely much better prepared now to retaliate on all fronts and strengthen its regional economy to reduce additional risks,” he said.
China responded with reciprocal 34-per-cent tariffs on US imports that would go into effect on April 10 after the US first announced 34-per-cent tariffs on Chinese goods last Wednesday ( Apr 2 ), which came two days later.  ,
Additionally, it announced anti-dumping investigations into imported health CT X-ray tubes from the US and India, an expanded “unreliable entity” list with 11 new British entities, and new regulations for rare earth exports.
In comparison, other nations and nations that were also affected by US taxes, including the European Union, Japan, and South Korea, made preparations to deal with the US.

After China announced an antitrust review of the deal, CK Hutchinson’s partnership with BlackRock inevitably failed to be signed as planned.
According to analysts, the Trump administration’s diplomatic triumph over the Panama Canal will assuredly spur Beijing on to carry out the stunt again.
In the meantime, one pro predicted that 20 to 30 nations would abandon the Belt and Road Initiative within the next year in the same way Panama did.
The politicians and the magnification are what matter, according to Eric Olander, The China-Global South Project editor-in-chief.
One cannot overstate how significant this is: that forcing a nation to leave BRI and seeing the response Trump and ( US Secretary of State ) Marco Rubio received from their base will inspire them to ( force ) dozens of other countries to do the same )
Olander added that “vulnerable places” will have to choose whether to be in China’s or America’s” sphere of influence.”
He continued, saying that this would not affect the BRI’s longer-term plan.
It simply means they have to re-calibrate in a much more controversial setting. He noted that protecting the domestic economy is the top priority for ( Chinese President ) Xi Jinping today.
He must maintain the local market, but I believe the US-China partnership is more crucial than the China-Panama partnership. So they’re sort of going to allow Panama leave.
