Chinese president Xi Jinping warned there would be “no winners” in a trade war and that protectionism “leads nowhere”, as he began a three-nation trip to south-east Asia starting in Vietnam on Monday.
Xi’s tour, which began in Hanoi, also includes rare visits to Malaysia and Cambodia and will seek to strengthen ties with China’s closest neighbours amid a trade war that has sent shockwaves through global markets.
