US probes Chinese factories in Vietnam
American customs officials have carried out surprise inspections of factories linked to China in Vietnam, aiming to review sources of raw materials, production processes, and compliance with intellectual property rights. However, investigations so far have not revealed any evidence of Chinese goods passing illegally through Vietnam. Nevertheless, these inspections reflect Washington's concerns about escalating tariffs on the country. The U.S. administration is focusing on issues such as intellectual property violations, excess production capacity, and commercial fraud. Meanwhile, tense trade negotiations between the two countries continue regarding the framework trade agreement, with ongoing American pressure on Hanoi to reduce non-tariff barriers and increase economic cooperation.
