- The US and Chinese defense chiefs are set to hold rare direct talks in Singapore this weekend.
The expected meeting between Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin and his Chinese counterpart Dong Jun will take place at the Shangri-La Dialogue, a security forum that's become a barometer of US-China relations.
If they go ahead, they'll be the first first substantive face-to-face talks between US and Chinese defense chiefs in 18 months. It's hoped an open dialogue between two of the world's most powerful militaries will prevent confrontations in the region from spinning out of control - especially the flashpoint disputes over Taiwan and the South China Sea.
For more on this, we talk to Oriana Skylar Mastro, an expert on Chinese politics. She is currently a fellow at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies at Stanford University and also with the Cárnegie endowment for international peace. Her book "Upstart. How China Became a Great Power" looks at how China has successfuly competed for power in the past 3 decades.
And we talk to Harrison Prétat. He is deputy director and fellow with the Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

#China #USA #SouthChinaSea
why is the background June 2023?
There are some guys who think that they can start ww3 and somehow contain it in a specific region, this is impossible, everyone will suffer if this really happens...
Yup, if it happens, it will spread to include the whole Indopacific
whole world
I don't thing it going well for China. Xi Jinping just had to replace his number 2 general for the CCP military. So things are getting worse within China. If there is a fight it looks like Xi Jinping has totally gutted his military.
This is why I always say The West is blind with one eye. They never see the implications that their actions could result in severe blowback. Like a child they won't believe their action have consequences and they will never admit other nations also have autonomy of action that they cannot stop or delay
...and those guys are all from the CCP.

Pretty much.

Philippines knew media is more powerful than sword
The Philippines is using misinformation to their advantage, something the US has mastered for decades! 😅😅😅
The disputed area belong to Taiwan (Republic of China); Treaty of Peace between Japan and the Republic of China; Signed at Taipei, April 28, 1952; Ratified July 8, 1952; Ratifications exchanged at Taipei, August 5, 1952; Entered into force, August 5, 1952;
【ARTICLE II】
It is recognized that under Article 2 of the Treaty of Peace with Japan signed at the city of San Francisco in the United States of America on September 8, 1951 (hereinafter referred to as the San Francisco Treaty), Japan has renounced all right, title and claim to Taiwan (Formosa) and Penghu (the Pescadores) as well as the 【Spratly Islands and the Paracel Islands】.
But Japan don't understand what was written is understandable whereas even the US and the West don't, I can comprehend ...😂😂😂
If that is correct. I guess most SEA nation would be willing to give it back because we know that Taiwan is more peaceful nation and they are more civilized so negotiations will be a lot better if that is the case.
@@pratt88but you got a problem , Taiwan is recognized by all the above mentioned countries as a province of PRC /China
you should know why china did not faced Philippines in the court of UNCLOS. the documentary evidences of the Philippines is overwhelming. you are only talking 1952.
@@juliousmabunay8844 For your information, all courts manned by Western counterparts are biased and weak in judgement. They are there to mislead transparency and protect the interest of the West so China knowingly noted and doesn't trust them.
Singapore is always a great mediator being a neutral country
A place with American troops is neutral. Sounds like a joke.😅
世界上没有任何一个国家，能调解中美之间的问题。新加坡，不够份量

It’s not how likely. It’s when?
from my Chinese perspective, no way, who needs a war with the US right, why two countries need war right
Both countries financially depend on each other a us China war would bankrupt both countries the US and China don't have to like each other but they have to get along for their own sakes
Lol dont understimate a dictators unsatiable greed look at putler
@@lloydz7628 China actually cares about money and trade like America
The 2 issue are
On Chinas side: they need to realize their 10 dash line means nothing and the international community disapproves of Chinas claim in asean EEZ areas. They need to stop harassing the Philippines in this area. China also has to stop with land grabs with its neighbors.
The USA: needs to not be so scared to be in a world with 2 global powers. The main issue is the USA and Philippine mutual defense treaty. If China keeps pissing off the Philippines they will call on the USA to help protect their sovereignty. The USA will do this mainly to keep China in check cuz they want to be the sole super power of such a level. Does the USA have the right intentions? No. It’s doing the right thing for the wrong reason. I could go on about each country but I’ll leave it there. And no. As a us citizen I don’t want war with China. I would actually like to visit but I don’t think they would be happy with Americans even in the country
Philippine is committed to follow international laws since Indonesia and Philippines brought the issues to arbitration and international laws awarded the island to Indonesia then Philippines respect international laws decisions.
But china is different they want international laws should follow their china laws.
Every child knows that arbitration must be agreed upon by both parties
@@user-uw1uk4uw1g why you didn't come and why you use Malaysia to intimidate us instead of you?
@@user-uw1uk4uw1g China is a signatory of the international agreement which created the Permanent Court of Arbitration. By signing the agreement China gave the Permanent Court of Arbitration jurisdiction over China in international disputes coming before the court. So China gave jurisdiction over China to the Permanent Court of Arbitration and cannot avoid binding arbitration. Besides, the court applies UNCLOS as applicable law.
arbitration not law, mind you!
@@PeteHagen-sm4tn According to the relevant provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, an arbitral tribunal established under the compulsory arbitration procedure of this Convention has no right to mediate or arbitrate territorial sovereignty and maritime delimitation disputes, especially after one party to the dispute refuses to accept such compulsory procedures in writing
Well, I don't know if it helps but I guess one can try
You've got to set a time frame for the question. In infinite time, extremely likely. In the short term, extremely unlikely.
This is a fallacy of false dichotomy.
There exists more than two possible outcomes to the question of war between China and US.
*War Is Inevitable*
It's not. It's preventable. There's no reason for a clash between the USA and China, especially being both nuclear powers that could drag the world into total anihilation.
No doubt when literally nobody is trying to prevent it.
Marcos: I must recover 160 billion stashed money in the US as long as I'm the president of the Philippines.

South China sea...Chinese submarine base at Hainan Island is built inside a mountain James Bond style. There in lies the Chinese nuclear Jin class submarines (Boomers) so the disputes in the SCS are not about fish or anything like that it's about the US having the resources to trackand destroy "Jin" class boomers before they reach the androv trench and disappear ?
Someone is banging on the door, maybe i've said to much...greetings from Vietnam
So amusing to see the CSIS guy trying to pick his words on why the Philippines went so loud., avoiding saying that it was the US who made the PH to do what it does now.
Not true. The Philippines has been asserting its rights even without the US.
You're mistaken. The Philippines are independent of Columbia. It even got Columbia to withdraw all its military bases.
Columbia has somewhat come back at the countenance of the Philippines. I doubt very much that Columbia bullied the Philippines in order to come back somewhat.

phil had an agreement with China before, then phil denied it
because their president needs to assure his billions of us dollars in an us bank...

The US doesn't even need to get involved. The CCP does all the work themselves in making their neighbours hate and distrust them.
@@Ernesto_Che_Guevarra just didn't bark this hard
The Philippines is part of the first island chain to contain the Chinese navy.. The rest of the south east asian countries aren't.

It is effective and more culture. The west should learn the Chinese arts of negotiation by using soft power and in a less tense environment.
The West as usual resort to hard power which is akin to hooliganism. Time have change.
@@johnliew3437 ... Chinese arts of negotiating? I guess they just didn't feel like negotiating with the Fulan Gong or the Uygurs trying to find compromise and peaceful solutions. . . . . . . .
.... like re-education camps or literal organ harvesting? Incredible modern Chinese arts. :-)
Fulan Gong(organ harvesting) and the Uyghur people(re-education camps and forced labor).
That's how they treat their own people. Chinese nationals.
Imagine how they treat neighbors in the region....
(Tibet, what a soft power move they showed there huh?)
The purpose of a mutual defense treaty is to deter.. If deterrance fails, then the agressor has incurred the response from the third party. If the partners in the mutual defense treaty take no action to deter, then the treaty is, in effect, a dead letter.
Chinas Nine Dash lies
The question is as old as civilisation itself.
unlikely. how do people constantly forget about nuclear deterrence?
Deterrence requires rational people.
Deterrence did work any more we are living in New normal God help us
Russia wasn’t swayed by said “nuclear deterrence “ when it conducted its “Special Military Operation” against Ukraine did it 😂
Deterrence didnt stop russia. Because the stakes werent that high. Taiwan being invaded would not trigger a nuclear war similarly. However it would trigger a huge conventional war.

@@ColoniaMurder20胡說八道
Still hearing the giggle of professor Lyle Goldstein's reaction to The Billion Renminbi Question...
A war with China is also a war with whole of Southeast Asia. Most of Southeast Asian modern post-war economies from Bangkok to Jakarta and Manila were built by industrialists of Chinese descent with Singapore, a majority ethnic Chinese city-state as financial hub. This will affect sizeable part of world population.
As the Western economies are in shambles, it's the intention by the US and the West to disrupt the economy of the SEA countries in order to compensate theirs.
America and China have built their economies off each other there will never be a US China war because it would cripple both economies
The US, please do not create a mess in the Asean region. Asean countries can settle issues with China. Peace and not war.
@@choonhockong8215 They are all here to disrupt the rising economy of Asean, unfortunately with the help of Philippines.
a war with southeast asia? what are you talking about? southeast asia isnt exactly impressed with chinese attitude in that region.. in fact Manila/Philippines is a strong ally of USA.
I wish we didn't need Chinese products. Bye Walmart bye Dollar Tree
What for?
To allow China open a military base near US as compensation for arms sale to Taiwan?
Red China already has de facto military bases on the soil of the U.S.A. They're just in hybrid-warfare form right now. They're zero-day military bases.
Like in Nicaragua!?!?
To let China supply weapons to Texas for supporting its independence.
Is this quality of China expert policy analyst 😂 lol
You can pick any person of Chinese descent off the streets of Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur or Singapore and he or she will know more than those so-called China's experts. 😂😂😂😂

Existential and largely military strategic issue not like Filipino fisherman livelihood issue
Even though the title is technically accurate, it doesn't exactly convey what it sounds like is happening with these "direct talks."
If these two men aren't actually counterparts and the Chinese official holds no power and therefore can not actually make any agreements, then this is some variety of theatre.
China doesn't make any real effort to mend the relationship and gets to make up whatever narrative about this meeting it decides to to the various audiences they have or are trying to get.
All that said, Austin still has to go there and make a genuine attempt at being good faith and hope China is interested in doing the same.
can dw actually get an asian, any asian residing in asia to provide comments about asian. its the most populous region in the world for heavens sake. cant be that difficult to get an asians point of view about asia

If the US really cares about the Philippines. Why dont they conduct Military exercise in the South China Sea? creat a buffer to Philippines EEZ?

The dispute near the Philippines is about the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Philippines according to international law.

In short the CCP has been lying "since ancient times".
If you're a Chinese general and you see the map of all the U.S bases in the far east and the U.S constantly threatening to block your oil shipments or ships that export stuff to the rest of the world then you'll understand why these claims even exist. It's to basically allow for the building of islands that could protect China's supply lines in the event of war.
Just like US's claim to hawaii
Well you all seem to get it wrong!
Any war vs China will be fought by countries AS WELL AS THE US eg UK, France, Australia, Japan, etc!
France said it won't get involved.
In terms of the Philippines, there is a legitimate mutual defence treaty that would need to be followed unless the US wants to be seen as an unreliable country by the international community. The treaty is pretty iron-clad. In regards to other countries, like Taiwan, I have no say.
I doubt that these countries will join the fight, because China is almost unbeatable now, as long as it has more/advanced ( nuclear ) weapons.
Don't
DW News, Subscribed because your videos are so much fun!

Phillippens and Taiwan are their own Nation. Aiming for their own sovereignty, self determination that a nation is a natural ideal basis for polity rightful source of political power. These countries further aims to build and maintain a single national identity.
Marcos made Philippines a legendary fool in history as the first and only country in the world allowing a foreign force to occupy 9 war military bases in its motherland.
Taiwan is not a nation but an island province of China which the Taiwanese themselves acknowledge.
Philippine is a sovereign state, but Taiwan is not.
you're way too old to see the end of any.
Here is the catch. When Taiwan is legally part of China, shouldn't self determination involve the Chinese people as well?
Spending only 1% of GDP on its military, Philippines shows little intention of defending their rights.
Should the US help a nation that does not help itself??
Not true. Philippines has been spending and fighting for its rights.
Their last president rolled out the red carpet for China to steal more of their territory, which speaks a lot about their intention to defend their rights. Now they expect the US to protect them.
are you clueless? lol. Confrontations with China happen all the time in the South China Sea. We're receiving more and more multi role fighters from Sweden and South Korea, dozens of Coast Guard ships from Japan, new Navy ships from South Korea, Indonesia, France, and Australia, India just recently delivered their brand new Brahmos hypersonic missiles which is the fastest in the world, Israel delivered brand new artillery and radar systems, a few months ago the UK delivered brand new assault rifles for the army. There's so much more going on. To say we show little intention is insane when we're always confronting China every day and procuring new military equipment every month. We already have a modernization framework in place and we're sticking to it for the foreseeable future.
Xi Jinping of China has just fired his number 2 General within the CCP military. Things are not going well within China.
A country that need to buy assault rifles from UK wants to win a conflict with China? Be proud for your courage.
