Veteran Chinese diplomat Cui Tiankai says he would raise three major questions to US, Japan and Europe at Shangri-La Dialogue

US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth was seen running drills and doing push-ups alongside American service members aboard the USS Boxer in Singapore ahead of this year’s Shangri-La Dialogue security summit.

US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth expressed alarm about China's military buildup in Asia.

China’s rapid military modernization and assertiveness in the Indo-Pacific and growing concerns over American priorities are top issues on the table at Asia's premier defense summit drawing leaders, top diplomats and security officials from around the world.

Hegseth made the remarks at a defense forum in Singapore amid growing concerns over what appears to be differing views between Seoul and Washington over when and how the transition should proceed.
