China’s unilateral establishment of an air defense zone over the East China Sea is expected to feature prominently during Vice President Joe Biden’s visit to the region beginning Monday, but the Obama administration’s messages have caused some uncertainty.
Biden plans to visit Japan, China and South Korea on a trip intended to underline America’s commitment to the region.
“The trip will reaffirm our enduring presence as a Pacific power, promote our economic and trade interests, and underscore our commitment to rebalancing U.S. foreign policy towards the Asia-Pacific,” his office said shortly after Biden took off from Andrews Air Force Base on Sunday afternoon.
