The thing is is that countries like Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand etc. were supposed to be the US's alternatives to China's manufacturing (I see a lot that says "Made in Vietnam, "Made in Malaysia" nowadays), and pretty much all of them except for maybe the Philippines are pivoting towards China/BRICS.

Ah, I was wondering what ties the article was alluding to. So it will be much the same as with Russia and China then? Selling natural resources in exchange for basic goods
