The trade war has officially supplanted the Vietnam War as the most-covered war by international press. The Wall Street Journal has the latest entry in the "every company wants to move to Vietnam but it's not easy" series, while Nikkei Asian Review has the scoop on Google moving production of its Pixel smartphone from China to Bac Ninh Province (outside Hanoi).
Friend of the letter Bennett Murray has a fascinating ground-level look at how the trade war has led to relatively cheap cherries (along with other American produce) making their way to Vietnamese stores thanks to Chinese tariffs. (Can confirm - cherries and blueberries used to be extremely expensive here, but now my local supermarket has piles of them on sale.)
Southeast Asia Globe, meanwhile, has a good long-ish read on how Vietnam's growing export prowess could leave it exposed to international market volatility.
