Hanoi stockbroker Mai Xuan Huu is a member of Vietnam’s upwardly mobile middle class, whose fortunes are tightly bound to the country’s political stability – and economic growth that’s been averaging a brisk 4.5 per cent annually. But the 33-year-old now harbours concerns for his homeland, which has benefited in recent years from companies relocating their supply chains outside China to skirt US tariffs arising from the pair’s damaging trade war.
