Its a pretty well known fact Vietnam trades quite a lot with Isn'treal. This is not a hard thing to look up and has been discussed in several instances on this site. This is only one such example.
Israel has many trading partners. China is the 2nd largest only after the US, whilst Vietnam is nowhere to be found in the top 5. The other guy suggested that Israel's 2nd largest trading should set Israel's Nth largest trading partner on the right path, if China really does it, they would be hypocritical. Thankfully, China is not stupid.
You said "it's a well known fact", but you didn't know that there are many more countries who trade with Israel? Or did you know but decided to single Vietnam out for some reason?
I also don't appreciate people conflating trading with "aiding in genocide", as if we literally send fighter jets to kill children.
If you trade with people doing genocide you are complicit with genocide. China doing it doesn't make it ok either. It's disgusting to see them and any other country do it. Not sorry.
Also, I wasn't talking about other countries. I was talking specifically about Vietnam because that's what the topic was. Don't try to do a misdirection. The topic was Vietnam. You asked for sources. I gave sources for the other commenter. It's not my fault you took offense to them. Maybe stop trying to defend a legitimately bad thing. Trading with fascists that are raping, murdering, and committing genocide, who are not only open about it but proud of their inhumanity, is supporting said fascists. Which most would consider a bad thing.
Then China and Vietnam should stop trading with the US, right?
EDIT: To the downvoters: this is a legitimate question. I would love for such trade to stop, I hear it would only cost China $500 billion. But I'm worried that them doing that would cause the US to be more forceful in trying to get their resources and I think AES states are trying to avoid that. Even if China could militarily hand the US its ass, the damage is still a concern.
Unironically, yes. lol
I was about to write this too lol! 😅
Also, the whole global should stop trading with Europe or Latin America should have stopped trading with the genocide apologetic Spain. China and Vietnam should also stop trading with the Japanese
