US Vice President Biden flies to China to Ease Tensions over Air Defence Zone

US Vice President Biden has arrived in Beijing for meetings with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Premier Li Keqiang over the newly enforced air defence zone by China over the East China Sea.

However, Chinese state media warned that Joe Biden should not repeat "erroneous remarks" on China's new air zone.

Mr Biden has arrived from Tokyo, where he reaffirmed the US alliance with Japan.
