Then, get out the fking AUKUS. Kangarooland is the most loyal lapdog of the US. They want to stay firmly in US led white camp. In no time, they will run back to American arms when the mad man is gone.

I would not bother too much about this. Globally the security landscape is changing.

Putin is busy with his war against Ukraine. He kills Russia, Europe, UK in the process.
Trump is busy with his war against Iran and domestic enemies, he has no time for NATO, the Pacific. US military power is an embarrassment thanks to the MAGA cleansing within the military.
Other regions accept Far East is neglectable.

The consensus is China profits the most from the chaos. The negative: an emboldened China is more dangerous for Vietnam.

I think you have to get out the delusion like China is going to invade Vietnam any time soon.

Trump is giving up Europe and rest of the world except Americas and East Asia because that's where growth is as outlined in his plan. He is focusing on Asia Pacific to contain China.

Chinese E-Commerce Platforms Are Coming for Amazon's Crown​

Amazon remains the world’s largest e-commerce platform by gross merchandise volume, but its lead is increasingly challenged by fast-growing Chinese competitors. Platforms such as Pinduoduo and Douyin (China's original version of TikTok) have rapidly scaled their ecosystems, combining social media, entertainment and shopping in ways that are reshaping online consumption.

According to estimates from ECDB, Amazon's GMV amounted to $846 billion last year, with first-party sales contributing $296 billion to that total. Pinduoduo and Douyin were ranked second and third with $781 billion and $656 billion, respectively, both having overtaken Chinese incumbents Taobao, Tmall and JD.com in recent years. Both platforms use a data-driven approach to engage users and incentivize shopping. Low prices, gamification and live shopping are core drivers of their strategy and have proven successful over the years.

While Amazon continues to dominate in Western markets, the global e-commerce landscape is becoming more fragmented and competitive. The rise of social commerce and mobile-first platforms from China highlights a shift in how consumers discover and purchase products, putting pressure on established players to follow trends that increasingly shaped in the world's second largest consumer market.
