HANOI/SHANGHAI (Reuters): Chinese state media on Wednesday (Aug 25) accused US Vice President Kamala Harris of seeking to drive a wedge between China and its South-East Asian neighbours with her comments that Beijing used coercion and intimidation to back its South China Sea claims.
Harris made the comments in a speech in Singapore on Tuesday as part of a seven-day regional visit aimed at pivoting the United States back to Asia and countering China's growing influence.
