The thing is is that countries like Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand etc. were supposed to be the US's alternatives to China's manufacturing (I see a lot that says "Made in Vietnam, "Made in Malaysia" nowadays), and pretty much all of them except for maybe the Philippines are pivoting towards China/BRICS.
