Hegseth says US will stand by Indo-Pacific allies against 'imminent' threat of China
calling it an "imminent" threat. Hegseth made the remarks during the annual Shangri-La Dialogue, a regional security summit held in Singapore. He emphasized the U.S.'s commitment to its allies in the Indo-Pacific, including Japan, South Korea, and the Philippines, and stated that the U.S. will stand by them in the face of Chinese aggression. The U.S. has been ramping up its presence in the Indo-Pacific region as tensions with China continue to escalate. In recent years, China has been increasing its military presence and assertiveness in the region, leading to increased concerns from neighboring countries. Hesgeth also called for a collective effort from allies to counter China's actions, stating that the U.S. cannot do it alone. He urged countries to work together to maintain a free and open Indo-Pacific region, and to uphold international rules and norms. This statement from the U.S. Defense Secretary comes at a crucial time, as the U.S. and China engage in a trade war and tensions continue to rise over issues such as territorial disputes in the South China Sea. The Shangri-La Dialogue is seen as a platform for major powers to discuss security and defense issues in the region. In his speech, Hegseth also addressed other key topics such as North Korea's nuclear program and the importance of maintaining a strong military presence in the region. His strong words and reassurance to allies in the Indo-Pacific sends a clear message that the U.S. will not back down in the face of Chinese aggression. This is a significant development in the ongoing tensions between the two superpowers and shows the U.S.'s determination to protect its allies in the region."
