A new analysis reveals China has been utilizing Vietnam as a strategic hub to circumvent higher U.S. tariffs, raising concerns about potential global trade disruptions. Companies are shipping components to Vietnam for minimal processing before exporting them to the U.S., effectively dodging targeted tariffs. This tactic echoes past strategies employed by China in its challenge to American global influence. Experts warn that this maneuver could disrupt existing supply chains and spark new regulatory scrutiny from international trade bodies. The strategy also highlights a recurring pattern of circumventing tariff policies, potentially leading to a more complex web of regulations for international commerce.
