HANOI (AFP): Vice President Kamala Harris launched a new broadside against China as she ended her South_East Asian tour in Hanoi on Thursday (Aug 26), warning the US would continue to push back against Beijing's claims in disputed Asian waters.

The comments came on the final day of a regional trip in which Washington has sought to reset relations in Asia after the turbulent Donald Trump years and stress its commitment to South-East Asian allies.
