Vice President Kamala Harris to face doubts and dysfunction at Southeast Asia summit

  • Vice President Kamala Harris is attending an international summit in Jakarta, Indonesia to strengthen partnerships and counterbalance Chinese influence. This visit is part of Harris' larger efforts to deepen outreach to Southeast Asia and burnish her foreign policy credentials.
  • President Joe Biden's decision to skip the Association of Southeast Asian Nations summit has caused frustration and raised doubts about U.S. commitment to the region. ASEAN is facing challenges in resolving issues such as civil strife in Myanmar and territorial claims in the South China Sea.
  • Harris' presence at the summit helps the U.S. show attention and engage with countries in the region. The tension over the South China Sea and Beijing's aggressive approach to the region have created opportunities for Washington to forge stronger partnerships and counterbalance China's influence.
