Chinese Defense Minister Dong Jun, annual Shangry’s dialogue, Asia’s Premier Security Forum, sent a low-ranking delegation instead of Beijing.
For the first time since 2019, the incident in China, Covid-19 pandemia, in 2020 and 2021, he said he did not send a high-level dialogue on regional protection in 2020 and 2021.
Beijing’s decision raised the eyebrows in Singapore, A Increased tension time Between China and the United States – the two largest super power in the world.
Lack of Dongun, there is no face to face with US colleague, Defender Pete Hegseth, Pete Hegseth, who has a potential threat of military threats created by China, he said he did not meet a face-to-face meeting.
“This, Beijing, has to make sure that Beijing has been dedicated to using military force to change the balance of power in the Indo-Pacific.”
Hegseth, who pointed out regular military exercises around Taiwan, as well as shooting in the South China Sea, said he actively raped Beijing neighbors.
“There is no reason for the sugar cover. The broken threat to China is real and can be inevitable.”
He also pointed out China’s growing military persecution As a reason to increase the defense costs of Asian peoples, pointing to Germany to Germany, 5 percent of the total domestic product (GDP) was directed to protect.

In previous years, the dialogue of Shangri, provided a unofficial platform for meetings between Chinese and US officials in the more unofficial area, which the summit can offer.
The structure of the table has allowed Beijing to respond directly to the main speech of the US Secretary of Defense and submit its narrators to other members of the Pacific Ocean.
Beijing, Defense Minister Dongun Forum’s absence was compressed due to the reason for a data caused by the speculation.
A theory is that China did not want to send a high-profile delegate to the event in such a sensitive time Beijing continues the Tariff War With Trump management.
“Any faux rust or comments that could leave the scenario can be selected or separate,” said Singapore’s Nanyang University Said Loh.
“Thus, the question is at the moment, US-China relations are at the moment when it is at a very thin point,” he said.
Shangri’s dialogue has always been the easiest event for the Chinese Defense Ministers. In recent years, Beijing met with permanent questions from their colleagues in other countries dissatisfied with the growing reliability of Beijing in Asia Pacific.
Loh, this said that Dongun could be another factor for the lack of a high-profile event.
“Now Singapore’s Minister of Defense will now be political to the country,” he said. “The Southern Sea and maybe such as Taiwan will make China a comfortable goal,” he said.
Dong, in late 2023, Salafi Li Shangu, was appointed Minister Defense Minister after being removed from the office.
Instead of a year, the new position around Dongun had the same position in China’s new position in China’s military investigation in the framework of corruption. Despite the allegations of Beijing, along with the minister, he rejected the continuation of the public profile.
President Xi Jinping was closely inspected by Chinese servicemen of Chinese servicemen, China’s servicemen.
Weidong, one of the largest generals in Beijing, was missing from a high-level political meeting in April, and the People’s Salvation Army (PLA) was added to rumors around the possible reinforcement.
Ian Chong, a non-resident scientist in the Carnegie Chinese research center, said such assumptions could be a factor in the show in Singapore.
“Because China has a high-level military sink, perhaps, or Pla himself feels that he is not in a position to send a great person.” Chong said.
Announcing Dongun Words at a press conference before the summit, the Chinese military spokesman said the communication channels were still open among the defense officials in Washington and Beijing.
“China attaches great importance to US military relations and is open to communicate at different levels,” Zhang said.
