Rift between US and China front and center at Shangri-La Defense Summit | 德國之聲新聞

In Singapore, Asia’s top security summit, the Shangri-La Dialogue, is underway. Front and center has been the chilly relationship between the United States and China.
US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said Washington would not stand “any coercion and bullying” of its allies and partners by China. He added that the US remains committed to maintaining the status quo of Taiwan. Austin stressed his preference for dialogue over conflict with Beijing despite China’s national defense minister declining an invitation to talk with him. Speaking at the summit, a senior Chinese military official reiterated China’s “indisputable sovereignty over the South China Sea islands and the adjacent waters” and stressed that “Taiwan is an inalienable part of China’s sovereign territory.”
