The US vice-president's trip to the region falls in the shadow of a chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Kamala Harris hopes to reinforce US relations with allies in the region, Singapore and Vietnam

President Obama's had his so-called 'pivot', which was supposed to redirect US diplomacy away from the Middle East towards the Asia-Pacific, and President Trump his 'Free and Open Indo-Pacific', intended to challenge China's expanding influence. Neither strategy went much beyond broad concepts, nor did they reverse the perception of declining US prestige here.

"But in the long term, it depends what they do next. If they follow up on the Austin and Harris visits, stepping up vaccine diplomacy in this region, if they fully resource their Indo-Pacific strategy, this could be a more focused foreign policy for the Biden administration, away from the Middle East and the wars that cannot be won.

President Biden is also pushing for changes to the way global supply chains are structured, to wean US companies off dependence on small numbers of specialised suppliers, many in China. But they are unlikely to feature as much as they did in the soaring speeches given by President Obama on his visits to this region. While his rhetoric about the arc of history bending towards freedom inspired younger audiences, it had little appeal to governments which have become more authoritarian and less tolerant of dissent.

Who is she? Secondly charm she has none and where has she been for the texan border she been missing there too lol

The US has not enough humiliation from Vietnam to Afghanistan, try SEA and China....

That's going to stop the Chinese taking Tiawan.

Interesting to see how she will go.

“Charm”

That inane laugh if hers isn’t “charming”. It is a lot of things, none of which could be described as charming. Maybe try to be a bit less biased next time. I know it’s difficult for you…

She should visit China & Russia lot to learn, future now lies with East ,Nodobt.

probally something to do with the Afghan lithium china is trying get

Has anyone actually checked Kamala Harris knows the places she is visiting? She didn’t know where Mexico or the wall was for god knows how long

We're done Joe. Wer're done

Let's look back at the BBC's coverage of the last VP's overseas trip. Same unbiased angle pretty much.

Wrong time to go to South East Asia, after running away from Afghanistan with the tail between the legs.

😂😂😂🤣🙈💩

Lololololol lololololol

🙄

She is in the church. Amen

God help us

What else is new ha, hee, ha, ha, ooie, ha, la, ha, hee, hee, hee!

Bitch broadcasting

Sad to say this but, who? She has been missing in action. She have such hope but we hear nothing from her.

The reason Kamala is in South East Asia, because the Biden-Harris handlers don't want her talking about Afghanistan.

Is she not needed at the US border? Too much like hard work for Harris.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Kamala Harris: From the bottom to the vice president and that's what's important

Yet nothing to say about afghanistan and the chinese backed coop

Jointje.....Kamala.

Charm? Chauvinists.

Kamala is very unpopular at the moment.

Parents slam school for calling son a girl name after coming out transThe school, in Rhondda Cynon Taf, south Wales, said the boy, who was under 14, had requested he be called by a girl's name and asked to join girls' PE classes. I'm not against LGBQT but what 14 year old boy does not want to join the girls pe group. That should be criminalized. Taking advantage of sensitive, impressionable kids to manipulate with their self-identification is vile. Devils
