Part 1.

Today on Forbes: Under Trump tariffs “made in Vietnam” will be the new “made in
China”. President-elect (1) Donald Trump says his plan to impose heavy tariffs on
goods imported to the US will shrink the federal deficit, lower food prices and create
more jobs at home. On the campaign trail in Savannah, Georgia, (1)he vowed to
“relocate entire industries to the US”. In September he said: “You will see a mass
exodus of manufacturing from China to Pennsylvania, from Korea to North Carolina,
from Germany to right here in Georgia.” However, such reshoring is unlikely to happen,
certainly not at the scale and speed that Trump wants, if ever. Instead expect to see one
country as a major beneficiary of Trump's policies, Vietnam.
Jason Miller, a professor of Supply chain Management at Michigan State University, told
Forbes: “If previously it was made in China, now it's going to be made in Vietnam. That
production is not coming back to America.” (2) During the previous Trump
administration, major foreign corporations, including Apple, Foxconn and Intel,
started pivoting to Vietnam as a way to diversify their manufacturing portfolio. Just
2 months ago, SpaceX announced a $1.5 billion investment in Vietnam, too. Even the
Trump organization is investing in the country with a recently trumpeted $1.5 billion
luxury real estate deal. And now the Southeast Asian nation is well positioned to benefit
even more from the anticipated anti-China sentiment of the forthcoming administration,
especially if it moves quickly to streamline regulation so that businesses can move in
quickly.
Vietnam has a number of advantages over other regional rivals like India. First, as a
single-party authoritarian state, Vietnam can and does set new business-friendly policy
quickly. Additionally, the country is geographically well-positioned. It already has three
of the world's top 50 busiest ports and is next door to China, making trade and logistics
between the two countries easier. (3) Critically, Vietnam also has a free trade
agreement with the European Union, the only other regional country besides
Singapore to have one. India is currently negotiating such a deal which would
smooth imports and exports between the EU and the world's most populous country.
Vietnam is also moving quickly to improve the infrastructure needed to support large
projects, like the country's new decree earlier this year that allows companies to buy green
energy from solar power producers rather than go through the traditional state power
utility. The move which makes it easier for companies to meet their climate targets was
applauded by Apple, Samsung - the country's largest foreign investor and the United
States Embassy in Hanoi.

Trump has repeatedly said in recent months that he wants to promote American
manufacturing and make foreign-made goods more expensive to import. (4) He singled
out Mexico as well as China, saying earlier this month that he would implement
tariffs of between 25% and 100% on products made south of the border. Previously
he said that goods made in China should be hit with a 60% tariff, while anything
manufactured abroad should have a blanket 20% tariff, including Vietnam. But the
country clearly sees an opportunity for growth. Anh Ngoc Tran, a professor of governance
at Indiana University and a former adviser to the Vietnamese prime minister told Forbes:
“Vietnam could be mildly successful, or it could be hugely successful depending on how
it facilitates this foreign direct investment wave.” Tran said he is currently preparing a
memo for Hanoi about how his home country can capitalize on these strict new trade rules
as Vietnam bets that a huge influx of foreign capital will help transform it into a developed
high-income country by 2045. At the top of Tran’s list is targeting multinational
corporations that will bring their own ecosystem of suppliers and focusing on higher-
value goods. (5) He said: “Vietnam should prioritize companies that will bring other
companies to Vietnam. If you bring Apple, there are a lot of other suppliers that
want to be close to Apple, companies that allow Vietnam to move into a more high-
tech sector. Instead of doing footwear and textiles, Vietnam should aim for
biotechnology and AI and semiconductors.”

Part 4.
It’s April 10th, 1815, and in just a few moments, the sun is going to disappear. On an
island in present-day Indonesia, Mount Tambora erupts with a boom that can be heard
over 2,000 kilometers away. Sulfurous
plumes of [Link] and ash billow thousands of meters into the sky, forming dark storm
clouds of soot and lightning.
This eruption will go down as the largest in recorded history, but, at this point, its impact
is only just beginning. Ascending high into the atmosphere, Tambora’s emissions spread
across the globe, [Link] out the sun for almost an entire year. The hazy skies and
cold weather of 1816 wreak havoc on agriculture, leading to famines all across [Link]
Northern Hemisphere. Nations struggle with epidemics, and artists craft bleak tributes
to these 19. seemingly apocalyptic [Link] was the year without summer— literally
one of the darkest periods in human history. So why are some modern researchers looking
for ways to repeat it?
Obviously, no one wants to replicate this period’s famine and despair. But some scientists
are interested in using [Link] haze to block out the sun, and hopefully, slow the
effects of global warming. This is one of many proposals in the realm of
geoengineering— a class of deliberate, large-scale interventions in Earth’s natural
systems intended to help restrain climate change. Different geoengineering schemes
intervene in different systems. Any plans to cool the planet by blocking the amount of
sunlight reaching the earth would fall in the category of solar radiation management.
Some of these proposals are massive in scale, such as suggestions to create a helpful
version of volcanic plumes or build 21.a giant sunshade in Earth’s orbit. Others are more
limited, focusing on enhancing natural
cooling systems. For example, researchers might enlarge marine clouds or make Earth
reflect more sunlight by building huge swaths of white surfaces. Many of these plans
sound more than a little strange. But there’s reason to believe they might work, not least
because of natural events like the eruption of Tambora.
Scientists know that volcanic eruptions have periodically cooled the climate. Both the
Pinatubo eruption in 1991 and 1883′s blast of Krakatoa reduced global average
temperatures by at least half-a-degree Celsius for up to a year. These cooling effects are
global and 22. fast acting— but they're also incredibly risky. The Earth is a chaotic
system where even the smallest changes can create countless 23. unpredictable ripple
effects.
We know that cooling temperatures impacts precipitation, extreme weather, and other
climate phenomena, but it’s difficult for even the most advanced computer models to
predict how or where these consequences will occur. One country’s solar radiation
management might be another country’s unnatural disaster, causing extreme weather or
24. crop failures like those following Tambora’s eruption. And even if these schemes
did safely cool the planet, solar radiation management doesn’t address the greenhouse
gases that are causing global
warming. These solutions are just 25. highly experimental band-aids that the world
would have to endure for at least a few decades while we work on actually removing CO2

super warming.
