Both Washington and Beijing have fought wars on Vietnamese soil in the last 50 years, but while the US has largely been forgiven, the south-east Asian country remains fearful of the “China threat”. Vietnam’s Trump supporters fall into two groups, according to journalist and vlogger Linh Nguyen. Those who like him simply for the entertainment and glamour, and those who are “die hard Trump-supporters” and follow US politics because they believe – like many in Hong Kong and Taiwan – he is the only bulwark against the Communist governments both in China and Vietnam. Neither Mr Trump or Mr Biden have spelled out a Vietnam strategy, and Mr Trump has made it very clear that he will not rush to intervene in the conflicts and disputes of other countries. Yet some like political activist Nguyen Vinh Huu believe that only someone like Trump “who is brave to the point of recklessness and even aggression” can actually make a difference.
