In response, the two countries have chosen open cooperation, jointly oppose unilateralism and protectionism, and are committed to maintaining the global free trade system as well as stable and smooth industrial and supply chains, helping create a more favourable international environment for their development.The editorial concluded that whatever changes occur internationally, China will always regard Việt Nam as a priority in its neighbourhood diplomacy.
