Group 1 - The U.S. is pressuring Vietnam to reduce reliance on Chinese technology in equipment assembled and exported to the U.S., indicating a broader strategy to decouple from China in high-tech sectors [1] - Since April, the U.S. has been using "reciprocal tariffs" as a tool to exert unilateral pressure on trade partners, significantly impacting the international trade system and increasing economic pressures on export-oriented economies [1][2] - Historical examples, such as Canada's concessions in the past, illustrate that appeasement does not guarantee protection from U.S. tariffs, as the U.S. continues to impose additional tariffs regardless of prior agreements [2] Group 2 - The unilateral concessions by trade partners do not lead to U.S. economic prosperity, as high tariffs negatively affect both supply and demand, ultimately increasing costs for U.S. suppliers and reducing global competitiveness [2][3] - The World Trade Organization (WTO) has played a crucial role in maintaining a multilateral trade system based on mutual respect and equal benefits, and any unilateral concessions could undermine this foundational principle [3] - Countries are prioritizing the maintenance of a stable international order and enhancing supply chain resilience, recognizing that the U.S. market, while important, is not the only option for export-oriented economies like Vietnam [4]
