US efforts to upgrade ties with Hanoi this year faces resistance, as Washington-Beijing competition intensifies and as Vietnam worries about antagonising its largest trading partner and neighbour, China
Formal ties upgrade in the US-Vietnam relations this year might not be"realistic", experts say, as Hanoi worries about angering China, its biggest trading partner and a vital source of imports for its manufacturing sector.
A push by the United States to upgrade ties with Vietnam this year is facing resistance in Hanoi, over what experts say are concerns that China could see the move as hostile at a time of tensions between superpowers Beijing and Washington DC. The United States is a major investor in Vietnam and the largest ever US business mission visited the country this week.
A formal ties upgrade this year "is not considered realistic anymore," said Florian Feyerabend, the representative in Vietnam for Germany's Konrad Adenauer Foundation.
