1. Vietnam is a communist country. 2. Vietnamese government is inherently fear of a color revolution. 3. Vietnamese government just purged its southern pro-West faction to consolidate power. 4. Vietnamese government copies Chinese government every move from opening up to fight corruption. 5. Vietnamese might bitch about China but they love everything about China from movies, dramas, music, culture, and almost everything. 6. Northern Vietnamese are less pro-West and more likely want to maintain peace with China. Given all of these above, I think Vietnam would try to lay low and maintain distance with the US.

Vietnam does not have the luxury of treating China as a permanent enemy. Once China gets a high GDP per capita, the Vietnamese, Japanese, Koreans will compete to kiss China's bumbum, just like ancient times.
Vietnam has been a Chinese province for 1,200 years and 800 years as a tributary vassal until French took over. The past 100 years is an aberration in history. US doesn't offer enough to get Vietnam to fully align with US and piss off China....Vietnam tried with Soviet Union and got slapped.

It’s because everyone knows that no matter what Germany says they’ll be on their knees begging for Chinese money. You can let them have the PR win.
it’s the exact same thing with India.
Poland ideologically strong country. they dont care about economics atleast in government. Thats why there stance need respect . while countries like Vietnam and India will trade and oppose simultaneously.
This is repeated quite often by European leaders and bureaucrats, but I wonder if Taiwan is the first to change the status quo, for example, under pressure from the US, declare independence, will our European vassals keep their word and condemn Taiwan!?
Empty words. What the hell can they do about it?
It's not even hidden at this stage - pretty much all dictatorships, banana republics, etc. are "partners" or "allies" of the US as long as they are against China. Democracy matters not at all, neither does human rights - you just have to be against China and the US will elevate you to "ally of the free world."
