Biden Seeks Unity With Japan’s Suga Against China at First White House Summit
The Epoch Times ^ | April 16, 2021 | Reuters

WASHINGTON—President Joe Biden on Friday sought to present a united front with Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga to counter an increasingly threatening China as the U.S. leader held his first face-to-face White House summit since taking office.

China topped the agenda, underscoring Japan’s central role in U.S. efforts to face down Beijing. The two leaders addressed an array of geopolitical issues, including Taiwan, with Suga saying they reaffirmed “the importance of peace and stability of the Taiwan Strait,” a slap at Beijing’s increased military pressure on the Chinese-claimed, self-ruled island.

Unusual the Harris met with the PM first? Everyone knows Obamala Harris has no foreign policy experience. Is this to build up her Bona fides? We’re so screwed.

Yeh so interested in unity Joe couldn’t be bothered to greet the guy when he showed up. The Japs are big on formality.

The Japs...

Knock off it off - that's a pejorative term that has no place on FR.

Grow up.

It has nothing to do with you thinking you are something you are not.

It has everything to do with you using an ignorant term for Japanese. Not surprised, but disappointed you use racist terms to describe people.
