China's Defense Minister Dong Jun, right, walks on stage during the Shangri-La Dialogue summit at the Shangri-La Hotel in Singapore, Sunday, June 2, 2024. China's defense minister on Sunday acknowledged the importance of newly renewed military-to-military communications with the United States as tensions escalate in the Asia-Pacific, while at the same time accusing Washington of causing the friction with its support for Taiwan and the Philippines.
Dong insisted that China's “strategic culture is anchored in universal love and non-aggression,” before threatening the Philippines, which has grown rapidly pro-American since the election of Ferdinand Marcos Jr. in 2022. U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Saturday said that American support for the Philippines was “ironclad” and praised Marcos’ Friday speech at the forum as a powerful statement “about how the Philippines is standing up for its sovereign rights under international law.”
Dong is a former naval commander who was appointed in late December after his predecessor, Li Shangfu, was abruptly removed from office.
