This geopolitical conflict has had a multi-faceted impact on international trade. First, the instability of the regional situation has made the trade environment complex and uncertain. Investors may be more cautious about doing business in the region, fearing losses from political risks.

In terms of trade routes, conflicts may threaten the safety of maritime transport routes. The safety of merchant ships’ navigation may be a concern, and insurance costs may rise, thus increasing trade costs.

From a market confidence perspective, consumers and businesses may have concerns about products from the region, affecting product sales and market share.

However, this has also prompted countries to re-examine their trade strategies and partners. For China, it is more important to focus on developing trade cooperation with stable and friendly countries, strengthen trade diversification, and reduce dependence on unstable regions.

At the same time, China is also enhancing its position and influence in global trade by strengthening trade exchanges with other countries.

Back to Vietnam’s behavior, this unethical move not only damaged the relationship between China and Vietnam, but also had a negative impact on its own trade development.

Vietnam originally expected to gain benefits through this method, but in fact it may lose more trade opportunities. China is an important trading partner of Vietnam, and the two sides have frequent trade exchanges. However, Vietnam's behavior has undermined the mutual trust between the two sides, making Chinese companies more cautious when conducting trade with Vietnam.

A stable political environment is crucial for the foreign trade industry. Countries should abide by international laws and international norms, resolve disputes in a peaceful and cooperative manner, and create favorable conditions for the development of trade.

In short, Vietnam’s behavior in the context of the China-Philippines South China Sea conflict has brought many challenges to regional trade, but it has also provided an opportunity for countries to adjust their trade strategies.
