During a brief courtesy call hours ago, President Trump reportedly told To Lam that he’d instruct officials to remove Vietnam from Strategic Export Control lists D:1 and D:3. Trump also said he “appreciated” Hanoi’s efforts to offset trade imbalance but did not mention tariffs.

Vietnam's leader, Mr. To Lam, is a former security chief who carved his way to prominence and relishes the good life. Mr. Lam is at this point known for being neither doctrinaire nor charismatic. He is charming in small groups. He is willing to take big risks while keeping his full intentions hidden. He is not quite like anything this one-party state has elevated before: a former security chief with a Ph.D.; a pro-business reformer; a divorced father of four; a globalist partial to fine wine and Kenny G. nytimes.com/2026/02/09/wor…

Vietnam has recently adopted a policy of appointing all key provincial leaders from outside the province they govern. In this joint article, @khacgiang and I explore some of the negative implications of this policy and suggest ways to address them. fulcrum.sg/the-risk-of-vi…

This year’s poll shows that Chinese people still hold the highest favorability toward Russia, though it has slightly declined for the third consecutive year. Favorability toward the United States remains the second lowest, but with a slight increase this year.

What are the best China books of 2025? @semafor just published its list, packed full of incredible titles, including work by @PatrickMcGee_ @danwwang @evadou @EmilyZFeng Happy to cast my vote for the book of the year on Chinese elite politics, which was "The Party's Interests Come First" by @JosephTorigian "A compelling account of how politics, ideology, and personality shaped Xi Jinping’s father and the Communist Party he helped lead." Thanks to @abrownepek for putting this together!

The tricky part is balancing 3 things at once: socialist orientation vs. market mechanisms, current reliance on FDI vs. building domestic capacity, and integration into global value chains vs. strategic autonomy.

VN has tried industrial policy 3 times since 1986. None really worked. Now there's a new attempt under new leader To Lam. More comprehensive than before, but still facing serious constraints. My new paper for @ISEAS takes a deep dive into his strategy. iseas.edu.sg/articles-comme…
