China Defence Chief Snubs Shangri-la Dialogue Amid Taiwan Tensions | Firstpost Live

China has again skipped Asia’s biggest security summit, the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, by not sending Defence Minister Dong Jun. The move comes as US-China tensions over Taiwan, the Indo-Pacific, and military strategy continue to grow. US Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth is expected to deliver a strong message on China while also addressing regional security, Iran, and Ukraine. The summit also highlights Vietnam’s delicate balance between Washington and Beijing, as global powers watch how Asia responds to rising geopolitical pressures and China’s expanding military influence across the region. -------------------------------------- China | Asia | Singapore | Shangrila | Firstpost | News Live | World News | Latest News | Global News | International News | News | Trending News #china #asia #singapore #shangrila #firstpost #newslive #worldnews #latestnews #globalnews #news #internationalnews #trendingnews Firstpost is an Indian news and media website.
