China has warned the United States over Taiwan in response to US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth calling China a threat to the region at a high-profile summit in Singapore. China’s government has accused Pete Hegseth of trying to sow division in the Asia Pacific region.
Speaking at the Shangri-La Dialogue yesterday, Hegseth said China was credibly preparing for military action to shift Asia’s power balance. He accused Beijing of rehearsing a potential invasion of Taiwan.
The U.S. Defense Secretary in the Dialogue underlined that the Indo-Pacific region was a priority for the Trump administration.
Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore is Asia’s premier forum for defence leaders, militaries and diplomats.
