The head of the Pentagon called on the leadership of China to return to bilateral dialogue "in order to ensure security"

Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin urged the Chinese leadership to return to bilateral dialogue "in order to ensure security and stability" in the Indo-Pacific region (IPR). This statement was made by the US Secretary of Defense at the intergovernmental Asian security summit "Shangri-La Dialogue", which started today, June 3 in Singapore.

The United States of America believes that maintaining a dialogue with the People's Republic of China is essential, especially at the level of our military leaders.

Austin said during his speech.

At the same time, he added, the negotiations between the two countries serve as a kind of protective fence on the way to maintaining peace and stability in the region, in particular, in the Taiwan Strait. Moreover, the American minister believes, all this will make it possible to avoid disagreements and miscalculations that could develop into a crisis or conflict.

For this reason, now is the right moment for negotiations.

Austin noted.

Recall that Chinese high-ranking military officials have suspended contact and interaction with their American counterparts. The climax was Chinese Defense Minister Li Shangfu's refusal to meet with Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin, even though both are attending the Asian Shangri-La Dialogue security summit in Singapore.

In China, they say that it is the United States that is doing everything to ensure that security in the Indo-Pacific region is under threat.

At the same time, when asked by journalists about the accusations against the United States that they are provoking China around the situation with the latter's "invasion" of Taiwan, the US Secretary of Defense immediately hurried to reject them. As Austin noted earlier, official Washington is committed to maintaining the status quo in the Taiwan Strait, allegedly supporting the one-China policy. As for allied relations with Taipei, as the head of the US military department emphasized, the States are fulfilling their obligations under the "Law on Relations with Taiwan", established in order to support the island. The corresponding law was adopted by the US Congress more than 40 years ago.

In conclusion, the head of the Pentagon also touched upon the topic of expanding Washington's military presence in the ITR. In particular, he referred to the Philippines, with which the United States has a bilateral Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement aimed at strengthening the US-Philippines alliance.

For reference: Shangri-La Dialogue is an annual intergovernmental security summit, which is attended by heads of defense departments, permanent heads of ministries, as well as other military leaders of 28 states of the Asia-Pacific Region (APR). It has been held by the so-called independent think tank International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) since 2002.

Isn't it easier for the Minister of Defense to suck mattresses, and not to call? The "hegemony" has died, no one puts it in any way, except for Nata and their jackals ...

[Warrior with machine gun]

Again, brains are powdering, you can’t believe in this lie

[NIKN]

The most real and effective way to ensure security in this region is to get the states out of there and preferably quickly, because this is the main and probably the only source of danger there.

[Shurik70]

to a bilateral dialogue

So China, like Russia, is always ready for dialogue.
But not to rudeness.
So let them go, be rude to those who lick their asses. Poland with the Baltic states, for example

[alystan]

The United States is ready for dialogue with Moscow and Beijing on the issue of arms control without preconditions. This was stated on Friday at the annual meeting of the Washington Arms Control Association, National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan.

They must have thought of something again, or they were really afraid of their own actions.

China did not express any desire, but just the opposite. Especially in terms of control over nuclear weapons.

But in this matter, Russia once again put forward conditions in order to involve France and Great Britain in the Treaty on the Limitation and Control of Nuclear Weapons, along with the PRC, which are connected with the United States by military treaties. But the Franks with their shaved eyes modestly downcast are silent and pretend that this does not concern them.

[seregatara1969]

Lie! Not called! Just started calling

[Vicontas]

Funny! First, sanctions were imposed against the Minister of Defense of China, then it was urgent to chat with him. Like - so that you see me with one eye, and I'll be on two crutches! Duplicity rules!

[Myths]

It's not just that he's a two-faced Janus. Either they threaten war and squeeze Taiwan from China, or they want to talk ... there should be a complete ignore. What can you talk about with a terrorist?

[tralflot1832]

The Chinese Foreign Ministry pushed through the State Department, a lover of megaphone diplomacy. The PRC got tired of sending the Bidens, Blinkins and Austins to three Chinese characters (maybe one). we won’t remove calls. And so on ad infinitum, until they start talking with China with respect.

[novel66]

Bilateral, as designed by the Pentagon:
-Chinese, take off your pants and turn your ass
- ok, white master!!

[Leshak]

The less communication with the United States, the calmer life in the country (in any country), it is better to stay away from such "partners". Well, about the negotiations - the whole world has already seen that the Americans are the real masters of their word - they want to give, they want to take. This is absolutely not a contractual country.

[alystan]

It's not easy to get rid of them either. You are at the door, they are at the window...

It turns out that CIA Director William Burns traveled to China in secrecy in May and spoke with Chinese intelligence officials about the importance of providing channels of communication between the intelligence services of the two countries.

True, the White House and the CIA refused to confirm the information. Well, this is understandable.

Why shouldn't the head of the Pentagon secretly visit his opponent? ))))

[tralflot1832]

The joke is that when this black -haired monkey was saying something about the vision of the world in the American in the Pacific region, they can’t confirm the SMI in the hall in the hall.

[lukash66]

Again another scam. I don't know what smart guy can buy into that. The Chinese have the last chance to force things. Otherwise, the monkey itself runs the risk of being a floating corpse. I don’t know, in a year or two, the chance with Taiwan will be missed. Does Si not understand this? It's understandable to butt butt, but now is the real time. We, the Russians, pulled the whole Caudle onto ourselves.

I watched "On the Last Shore" and felt that the arctic fox was already nearby...

[tralflot1832]

Ezekiel 25-17. Did you draw a picture from this fox?

[Horon]

The United States behave like bandits terrorizing the whole world. Everyone who gives at least a hint of resistance immediately begins to receive slaps in the face for courage, if it is not possible to give a slap in the face directly, then they begin to make provocations against him to create a negative image, and after the image is created, they begin to press the enemy.
The true heirs of their bastard ancestors!

[Aviator_]

This overseas eggplant has completely lost its shores. Absolutely inadequate.

[TermNachTer]

No wonder they say - impudence is the second happiness)) while one Washington clown calls to restrain China, another offers to be friends))) as Lavrov said: "Morons

[rocket757]

The head of the Pentagon called on the leadership of China to return to bilateral dialogue "in order to ensure security"

. It's simple... yankee go house!
I heard that some say, and even claim that then the world will be covered by chaos and aoyns!? But somehow this is not convincing for them, in the opinion of very, very many.

[kill the fascist]

Pen dos dances blinked first, let's see how the Chinese respond.

[Al manah]

Let Li Shangfu wholeheartedly send Austin to Li Hui (if anything, this is a Chinese diplomat, a special representative for Eurasian affairs, and not what the moderator immediately thought of).

[zloybond]

He is sad - they ignore him, no one picks up the phone on the other end of the wire.

[Roust]

Sometimes I look at black monkeys and start believing Darwin.

[1erWahrheitsMinister_1984]

Dieses ganze verlogene, widerwärtige und ekelhafte
Lügen-Gequatsche von Austin erinnert mich immer
wieder an den Vortrag von General Powell über die
"unwiderlegbaren Beweise" um den Iraq zum zweiten
mal mit gefälschten "Beweisen" zu überfallen...!!!

[evgen1221]

They just powder their brains and want a respite, they don’t take them out to two fronts, but in the meantime they will form an alliance and will sing like with Ukraine - it’s not us who muddied all this in Europe. Crush mattresses until they dump home from all the bases.

[Viktor Sergeev]

Cool photo, why is the gorilla dressed up in a suit? Well, what could be the dialogue? For the United States, dialogue is when his sixes listen to the master and agree.
