Many analysts were dead wrong about Vietnam benefitting from the US-China trade war.

https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/asia/vietnam-says-committed-to--free-and-fair--trade-after-trump-tariff-threat-11671716

Trump has threatened to impose tariffs against Vietnam.

We differed from many analysts over the view that Vietnam would benefit from the US-China trade war.

http://sg-stock.blogspot.com/2018/11/do-thailand-and-vietnam-really-benefit.html

We had stated our view in our previous post above.  Smaller nations like Vietnam and Thai do not have the same clout as China to ward off the US tariffs because their economies and military prowess are not in the same league as China.  They will be bullied by the US and they will bend to US demands.  Vietnam is in trouble now.

A trade truce has been reached between the US and China.

https://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-xi-talk-trade-economic-233226847.html

Basically, this is just about remaining a status quo since existing tariffs will remain with no new additional tariffs.

However, non-tariffs measures such as restrictions placed on China and the US companies will escalate in the name of national security concerns which may not seem to be trade-related.

Let's see how this will pan out since Trump is not a credible leader and always flip-flop on his agreements.

China is imposing an all out ban on Canadian meats.

Ractopamine is banned in 160 countries because it is harmful to humans.

http://sg-stock.blogspot.com/2016/11/what-do-you-get-for-being-staunch-usa.html

Canada is trying to poison the Chinese with ractopamine laced meats.
