After US Congress President Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan, US Vice President Kamala Harris will now travel to South Korea and Japan. North Korea is angry with this visit and it may conduct nuclear tests in protest. The special thing is that China's displeasure was seen recently on Nancy's visit to Taiwan. China had also said that it would shoot down Nancy's plane, now North Korea is also peppered with Harris's visit. Let us know why this visit of Harris is important for America from the diplomatic point of view. 

1. Foreign affairs expert Prof. Harsh V Pant says that America wants to assure its allies that it stands fully with them. Taiwan, South Korea and Japan are strategic allies of the US. After the withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan, doubts arose among the American allies, which the President now wants to accomplish. 

2. He said the Biden administration's fight has been democracy versus others. Surrounding China, Biden has said that now is the time that democratic countries should come on one platform. In this way, the Biden administration also wants to send a message that it should stand with democratic nations. The US had indicated the same on the Taiwan issue. Despite all the opposition from China, the US had given the green signal to Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan. Harris's journey should be seen by connecting it to this link. 

3. Prof Pant said that Harris's visit sends a message that America is now adopting a tough diplomatic approach towards hostile nations. He said that this visit to America is diplomacy. Its purpose is to give a warning to the opposing nations and a message of solidarity with the friendly nations. He said that is the reason why Harris will be traveling with South Korea to Japan. Japan is a major strategic ally of America. It is also a part of the Japan Quad organization. 

4. China will also feel chilly due to the visit of US President Harris to Japan. He said why China strongly opposed the formation of Quad. In such a situation, China will definitely be stunned by Harris's visit to Japan. The purpose of the Biden administration is to defeat hostile nations diplomatically. Harris' visit would be troublesome to both North Korea and China.
