US vice president Joe Biden will attempt to defuse a row over airspace in the volatile East China Sea on his visit to the region this week, Reuters reported. In Tokyo on Tuesday, Biden will likely assure Japan that a military alliance with the United States dating back to the 1950s remains valid as the government of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe wrangles with China over disputed islands. Yet he will also try to calm tensions between the United States and China over the same territorial dispute when he goes to Beijing later in the week.
