3. Vietnam's US exports account for 30% of GDP, making it highly vulnerable to tariffs

$142 billion exports to US. I'm thinking there are a lot of trans-shipments included in that. Seems like a lot for a small country, when China exports a comparable amount. Vietnam has 100 million people, China has 14 times as many but exports only 3 to 4 times as much goods to the US as Vietnam does? Seems a bit odd.
