Xi Jinping is in Southeast Asia to build bonds with countries that also face U.S. tariffs and have come under pressure from Washington to curb the transshipment of Chinese goods.

Xi Jinping has warned there will be “no winners” from Donald Trump’s trade war as the Chinese president embarks on a diplomatic tour of Southeast Asia this week. The warning was delivered in an editorial jointly published in Chinese and Vietnamese media ahead of a trip which experts say Xi will use to portray his country as a “responsible” superpower—in contrast to the United States under President Trump.
