Vice President Kamala Harris called out Beijing for undermining international rules-based order in the South China Sea on Aug. 24 in a speech on U.S. forign policy in the Indo-Pacific region.
She delivered the speech in Singapore, the first stop of her Southeast Asia visit that will also include a trip to Vietnam. Her visit comes at a time when the United States is being targeted by a propaganda campaign by actors for the Chinese Communist Party, hoping to persuade nations to view the United States as an unreliable ally based on its chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan.
