Honestly, this is exactly why the U.S. needs to stop getting involved in every geopolitical chess match around the globe.

Let China and Vietnam handle their own relationships — it’s not our business to police who talks to who. Trump getting rattled over Xi’s trip is just more evidence of how obsessed our leaders are with control instead of focusing on issues here at home. We’ve got enough problems without sticking our nose into every diplomatic handshake in Southeast Asia. Non-intervention doesn’t mean isolationism — it means being smart about where we spend our energy and resources.
