Xi Jinping's GRAND Welcome in Malaysia: China Destroys Trump's Tariff War With ASEAN Treaties

Chinese President Xi Jinping’s visit to Malaysia marks a pivotal moment in Beijing’s bid to outmaneuver the U.S. in Southeast Asia. With Trump-era tariffs souring Washington's trade ties, Xi aims to convince Malaysia and ASEAN that China is the region’s best long-term partner. Touting deepened strategic ties, tech cooperation, and economic integration, Xi’s charm offensive leans into BRICS, RCEP, and de-dollarization plans. As Malaysia looks East, Beijing is pushing hard to anchor a new global order that trades in renminbi—and trades away American dominance. #XiInMalaysia #ChinaTrade #TrumpTariffs #ASEAN #MalaysiaChinaTies #RCEP #BRICS #Geopolitics #TradeWar #DeDollarization #XiJinpingVisit #ChinaPlusOne #BilateralTies #AsiaPacific #USChinaTensions #GlobalTrade #MalaysiaDiplomacy #ChinaStrategy #TrumpVsXi #RenminbiTrade Also Read Trump Slaps 145% Tariffs On China As Trade War Deepens :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-slaps-145-tariffs-on-china-as-trade-war-deepens-4120591.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Praises Chinese Counterpart Xi Jinping Amid US-China Tariff Standoff, Calls Him 'Very Smart Man' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-praises-chinese-counterpart-xi-jinping-amid-us-china-tariff-standoff-calls-him-very-smart-ma-4120019.html?ref=DMDesc China, US On Collision Course As Trade Spat Fuels Geopolitical Rift; Beijing Vows To ‘Fight To The End’ :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/china-us-on-collision-course-as-trade-spat-fuels-geopolitical-rift-beijing-vows-to-fight-to-the-e-4117775.html?ref=DMDesc

How China Is Outsmarting Trump’s 145% Tariffs Using Vietnam | Tariff War Escalates [Video]

How China Is Outsmarting Trump’s 145% Tariffs Using Vietnam | Tariff War Escalates

As Donald Trump hikes tariffs on Chinese goods to an unprecedented 145%, China appears to be outmaneuvering Washington through clever supply chain rerouting. Chinese exports are increasingly flowing through countries like Vietnam, Malaysia, and Indonesia to dodge U.S. tariffs — raising concerns about global trade transparency. Meanwhile, Vietnam records $18.5 billion in net FDI, some of which may be due to this strategic redirection. Trump has vowed more tariff hikes, while Beijing threatens to retaliate, placing ASEAN economies at risk and pushing the global trade system into chaos. #TariffWar #TrumpChina #145PercentTariff #ChinaVietnam #TradeEvasion #USImports #FDIVietnam #GlobalTrade #WTO #TradeTensions #TrumpTariffs #ASEANSupplyChain #China

Prime Minister Narendra Modi met Bangladesh's Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus in Bangkok during the BIMSTEC Summit, amid strained ties between the nations. The meeting follows Yunus’s controversial remarks on India’s Northeast, and India’s concerns over attacks on minorities in Bangladesh. Tensions have also risen due to Sheikh Hasina's asylum in India and growing Bangladesh-Pakistan military ties. Though Dhaka requested prior bilateral talks, Modi initially declined.

Xi Jinping Lands in Hanoi as US Tariff Escalates—China & Vietnam Forge 40-Deal Pact to Counter Trump

As the U.S. slaps 145% tariffs on Chinese goods, President Xi Jinping touches down in Hanoi — and the world takes notice. In a high-stakes diplomatic mission, Xi kicks off his Southeast Asia tour by strengthening economic and strategic ties with Vietnam. With 40 potential deals on the table — from supply chains and rail infrastructure to artificial intelligence and aviation — China and Vietnam are signaling a major shift in regional dynamics. Meanwhile, Vietnam walks a delicate line: negotiating tariff relief from Washington while tightening controls on Chinese goods to avoid rule-of-origin fraud. Is Vietnam aligning with Beijing, or playing both sides in a new global power game? This video unpacks the trade tensions, diplomatic signals, and what Xi's visit could mean for the balance of power in Asia — and beyond. #XiJinping #ChinaVietnam #TradeTensions #USChinaTradeWar #SoutheastAsia #Tariffs #Geopolitics #GlobalTrade #BeltAndRoad #COMAC #VietnamEconomy #RailDiplomacy #MadeInVietnam #XiInHanoi #ChinaNews
