Harris had come under recent scrutiny after Republicans pointed out that, after being tasked by President Joe Biden to be head of diplomatic efforts at the southern U.S.-Mexico border, she had yet to actually visit the border.

“China is undermining key elements of the international rules-based order,” the vice president said from the deck of USS Howard, a destroyer with the U.S. Navy’s Seventh Fleet, based in Yokosuka, in eastern Japan. “China has flexed its military and economic might to coerce and intimidate its neighbors. And we have witnessed disturbing behavior in the East China Sea and in the South China Sea, and most recently, provocations across the Taiwan Strait,” said Harris, who was in Tokyo for the state funeral of Shinzo Abe, the former pro-alliance prime minister who was gunned down on the campaign trail in July....
