The statistical analysis shows that although Vietnam's trade balance with China shows increasing deficits, the US-China trade war has a positive impact on Vietnam as its export-import ratio with China increases in both the long and short run. We also find that the impact of participation in the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) is positive but not statistically significant. We also find evidence that several factors have a positive and significant impact on the trade balance, including Vietnam's growth rate, Vietnam's industrial production index, and China's population. On the other hand, some factors, such as the exchange rate between Chinese yuan and Vietnamese dong and the population of Vietnam, are found to have a significant negative impact. These findings can provide evidence to help Vietnamese businesses and policymakers formulate trade policies with China, especially in the current complex geopolitical context.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Целью статьи является анализ торгового баланса между Вьетнамом и Китаем и оценка влияния на него ключевых факторов с акцентом на торговую войну между США и Китаем. В статье используется модель авторегрессии и распределённого лага для квартальных данных с 1-го квартала 2009 г. по 4-й квартал 2022 г. Анализ показывает, что, несмотря на растущий дефицит вьетнамо-китайского торгового баланса, торговая война между США и Китаем оказывает положительное влияние на Вьетнам, поскольку соотношение его экспорта в Китай к импорту увеличивается как в долгосрочной, так и в краткосрочной перспективе. Кроме того, приведены доказательства того, что участие в Всеобъемлющем региональном экономическом партнерстве (ВРЭП) оказывает положительное влияние, но оно не является статистически значимым. Показано, как на торговый баланс существенное положительное влияние оказывают такие факторы, как темпы роста вьетнамской экономики и индекса промышленного производства, а также население Китая. С другой стороны, такие факторы, как обменный курс китайского юаня и вьетнамского донга, а также население Вьетнама, оказывают существенное негативное влияние. Эти данные могут быть полезными вьетнамскому бизнесу и политикам в формировании торговой политики по отношению к Китаю, особенно в нынешнем сложном геополитическом контексте.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>trade balance</kwd><kwd>the US–China trade war</kwd><kwd>RCEP</kwd><kwd>Vietnam</kwd><kwd>China</kwd><kwd>geopolitics</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>торговый баланс</kwd><kwd>торговая война США и Китая</kwd><kwd>ВРЭП</kwd><kwd>Вьетнам</kwd><kwd>Китай</kwd><kwd>геополитика</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Dang Thi Kim Dung (2016).
