U.S. Vice President Harris says need to up pressure on Beijing

U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris, speaking in Hanoi on Wednesday, said there was a "need to raise pressure on Beijing" and "challenge its bullying" in the disputed South China Sea.

Chinese state media on Wednesday accused Harris of seeking to drive a wedge between China and its Southeast Asian neighbors after her earlier comments in Singapore that Beijing used coercion and intimidation to back its maritime claims in the region.
