"I don’t want to contain China,” Biden talks tough on China during Vietnam press meet
President Biden was in Vietnam on Sunday to celebrate an improvement in Washington-Hanoi relations. The goal of the visit to Hanoi is to establish a "comprehensive strategic partnership" with the Vietnamese, a symbolic but important status that the US has long wanted. Since taking office, Mr. Biden has worked to strengthen ties with a number of Southeast Asian countries due to their strategic importance as a line of defense against escalating Chinese aggression in the Indo-Pacific.
