description The United States should enlarge its concept for countering Chinese expansionism to stress economic power in addition to military power. One bold move to this end would be to include Vietnam in a redefined 'Quint' alongside the current Quad comprising Australia, India, Japan and the United States. Instead of forging a US-Vietnam defence treaty and encouraging a Vietnamese military build-up, which could trigger a hostile Chinese reaction, the US would help Vietnam advance its own priorities of renewable development and improved worker productivity. For this, an American-led business-government initiative will be needed. As China's economy sputters while its military investments grow, a Quint with both economic and military power could enjoy an advantage in peacetime and during crises.
