/ world today news/ The dialogue on Asian security issues “Shangri-La” is currently being held in Singapore, in which members of governments and experts from over 40 countries are participating, including the member of the State Council and Minister of Defense of China Li Shanfu .
At the current dialogue, a US representative focused on “US leadership in the Indo-Pacific region”. Before the dialogue, Washington commented on Beijing’s refusal of a meeting between the defense ministers of the two countries, calling it “irresponsible”.
According to a well-informed source, China did refuse the US request for Li Shanfu to meet with Lloyd Austin, but then why did the Chinese minister meet with his Singaporean counterpart?
Two months ago, Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong visited China, where the two countries agreed to upgrade their bilateral relationship to a comprehensive high-quality strategic partnership.
Singapore is a small country in terms of area and population, but it is located at a key international crossroads and it is not easy to maintain its security. The country pursues strategic independence, keeping a distance from the US and has not yet entered into a formal alliance agreement with them.
In recent years, Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong has repeatedly stated that his country will not side with either China or the United States.
China and Singapore have reached a consensus on the security issue. Against this background, the cooperation between the armies of the two countries is constantly deepening. Peace is achieved through self-effort and is maintained through cooperation. The consensus of China and Singapore is becoming the consensus of the majority of Asian countries.
