- The United States and Chinese defence chiefs on Friday (May 31) held their first substantive face-to-face talks in 18 months at the sidelines of the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore. The premier defence summit, held by independent think tank International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), runs from Friday to Sunday. IISS-Asia’s executive director Veerle Nouwens told CNA’s Asia First that there is a role for all countries to “play an effective role” and “try and aid in bringing down tensions”.

Why do you never ask neutral questions, CNA? Why do you think Asians see everything from the US point of view? Why dont' you ask a Chinese expert how they view US military presence in the region for once?
CNA receive order from PAP regime and PAP regime is afraid of US overthrowing them. One party system in Singapore is a very convenient excuse for the CIA to start funding rebellion. But "democracy" or not "democracy" every country in Asia is under pressure from US to take side and if US is not happy with any government, they will support the opposition by fundings
CNA is a Western compliant poodle. Colonized still. Just look at its leader. Aw aw!
Well said!
American presence makes it less likely for China to use coercive force on its tiny neighbor to expand its sphere of influence and territory within ASia. That is not something China love to see happen in this region.
For once??? How many times you like to repeat the same question?
Why are you so sure the US is interested in reducing tension with China? Is it not possible it is just the opposite?
Can't agree more...
Recently , the empire has escalated..
--> tension
--> in Asia
thanks Bongbong.
Now SEA won't get left out in a nuclear exchange. Why did PH guys elect another Marcos?
The Mid-Range Capability missile has landed in Luzon, Philippines, marking the first deployment of the new capability deemed vital for the U.S. Army's strategy in the region.16 Apr 2024
Able to deliver nuclear to every ASEAN city and also China city.
Focus on the common ground of humanity and not because of one leader and sacrifice their own citizens. No great leader, and no one can live in this world forever.
@@ruiwang834 seeing Gaza , ...no hope on these politicians
with Xi Jinping stirs more greed and escalations in ASEAN.
How can "all nations can help to reduce US-China tensions" when the world hegemon have more than 750 military bases across 80 countries, and has deployed nearly 175,000 soldiers in 159 countries (Note : there are 195 countries in the world)?? This IISS-Asia exec director reply seemed hollow, when almost all nations are under the thumb of USA.
Without the US to police rules and order, your motherland would have robbed us dry long time ago .
if all nations wanted to reduce tension... you better start to condemn USA for provocation.... its an open secret😂😂😂
Agree absolutely. All nations must walk away from US sabre rattling and warmongering. Singapore, please take note.
The cost of being an enemy of China is too high to maintain hegemony.
The cost of being a friend of the USA is even higher.

Your entire comment is a big pile of nonsense.
President.Marcos was ELECTED BY THE PEOPLE of the Philippines. FREE elections. Something that will never happen in china (your country right ?)
Oh you recognised the words of marcos, thats a compliment. Very much appreciated😂😂
Other countries do not care about the China-US relationship, 😅😅😅as long as there are more than 400 US military bases around China, the dispute will continue. Imagine how the US government would react if China set up a military base in Cuba/Gulf of Mexico.
Y concern about bases of U.S. if china already have the whole sea for thier own.. unchecked of all thier dirty tactics.. the problem here is the victim..a poor country that can't fight back
@@LarryMendarosOh so it's okay if China builds a naval base in Jamaica and Russia a naval base in Cuba and Venezuela correct there would be no complaining?
@@shadowslayer9988 hu is stopping china to have bases anywhere in this world..like..did anybody stop them when they claimed the whole sea
But very strange, I sleep well knowing US Carriers are nearby.
@@LarryMendaros Go to Google: 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. The US government came close to nuclear war with the Soviet Union just because of a military base in Cuba. However, surrounding more than 400 US military bases in China, while the Chinese navy is only asserting its territorial sovereignty in territorial waters, you think it is "dirty". Either your standards of judgment are questionable or you have been blindsided by the Western media.
As long as the US Secretary of Defense LJA3 don't go AWOL, again.
The world is a global village, and we need each other. If each nation leader put their priority to focus and work on the common ground for the sake of humanity of this world, then peace will preveal. Just like husband and wife not in good term. For the sake of their kids, both parents choose peace and try not to take advantage of the weaker partner by raising the living standard of their kids. ❤
Finally, the test has arrived in the ASEAN region. Can we teach peace to the world if differences are normal or trapped because of the competition of these differences?
ASEAN is very unique, Monarchy, Democracy, Communists, Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism can live side by side in this region.
Will our region succeed or fail just like other regions?
Respect UNCLOS dont make things complicated 😮 and common sense 😅
the underlying dispute between the claimant countries since 1945 is one of territorial rights over the SCS islands. After oil was discovered in the SCS in 1969, Philippines started to challenge China’s claims of territorial rights over the SCS islands, after having kept quiet for 25 years prior.
And UNCLOS is not the proper forum because it does not deal with matters of territorial disputes or to resolve issues of sovereignty, as that field is governed by rules of customary international law on the acquisition and loss of territory, which can be decided by the ICJ ONLY. No jurisdiction means no power to define the sovereignty rights over the disputed islands. If Philippines were serious about its claim, it would have commenced proceedings with ICJ and not a powerless UNCLOS tribunal.
Besides, China had already opted out of arbitration by lodging an article 298(1) UNCLOS declaration in 2006, just as more than 40 signatory countries have done.
So strange that cna has recently turned into another Anglo media house. Wonder who is on its board? It’s definitely not balanced.
What should you do when the American empire refuses to decline peacefully and try it utmost to curb other countries rising? Rising and declining of every empire are common things but when the current empire doesn't accept the reality then the crisis occurs and rises. So the US empire is the source of the world's crisis and tension to prevent its hegemony.
All nations? Who are we?
*When you clearly read between the lines you will see that China and Russia policy is more democratic and concrete*
Yes the two authoritarian countries are more democratic lol
😱😮😱😝
Don't even need to read between the lines. The US empire has recently stationed special forces on Kinmen, just a few kilometres from mainland China.
And what's happening in Gaza is smacked in your face.
@@katong1953 Rusha China ironclad support growing stronger in SCS is a smacked in your face
@@katong1953 Shame on you
There is so much good we could have if things weren't so hegemonic, and if self determination was respected in these regards.
Many asked how SINGAPORE PAP "dictatorship" is tolerated by US. Simple: By being obedient to US dictate regarding foreign policy line which Singapore has to follow and making CNA a mini BSB NEWS
Hey, it's Channel News America.
*Uncle Sam propagandas have hit the threshold limit just look whats happening in Ucrane and Gaza*
There is only one way, everyone has to follow the laid out rule since the United Nations was founded. There is really no need for more conversation but for China to follow the laid out rule of the United Nations. Philippines is one of the founding member of the United Nations where China is a permanent security member. Many idiot reporters and experts are still mentioning historical excuses for the South China Sea conflict between the Philippines and China. No! All you have to say is, "China must follow the international law". Follow the international law and it's done. Peacefully.
International help or not help we will trying our self 🤙👍👍👍
No to war and no to america coz of war
The world no.1 superpower ranking is at stake, the us Israel will not want to become no.2 in that ranking
Why can't the United Nation Organization resolve conflict between counttries infact they are members of the organization
Remember Obama pivot to Asia Pacific started in 2011 before Xi Jingping came to power. Xi Jinping responded by militarizing the disputed islands. It is the least that China should do to protect itself. If some Pinoy fishermen were denied fishing in the surroundings of the islands. So what. Is this a tragedy compared to the 10,000 Islanders in the Pacific Ocean who were sacrificed in a nuclear experiment by US in the 1950s. National security against a possible nuclear war with USSR was the excuse to conduct such an experiment. The Pinoys should stop whinning. By the way they are among the 4 countries hosting 350 US military bases surrounding China.
chinese greed!
@@aninipot252The greedy one is the US who think they should be the sole country leading in all the 32 critical technologies they identified and do whatever it takes to prevent other countries to rise.
One sided devious mindset 👿👺👹💀
✌️🗺️🙏🌎✌️💙🤍☮️
You've said alot, but no context of what's currently the situation. Short answer is for China to cooperate diplomatically and this can all go away.
so you deny PH sovereignty and the right to exist??
Instead of making an enemy of China the U.S should seek to be a partner.
But i guess the U.S obsession on maintaining hegemony is just too much for that.
They are greedy. They believe they should be the only one to control all critical high end technologies and all the high paying jobs.
Communism? 🤔
More countries should recognise Palestinian state as well including SG
"dialogue"
It's up to china..hardheaded in international law...
😆No one can even stop U$A $upporting GZ drama ..
The only problem is the principle of ccp. If china will obey the international law theres no dispute. Your propaganda and lie is causing the problem.
There's no need to involve so many parties ... just those who are affected ...
1. Taiwan and China 🇨🇳 to resolve their own internal problems without the US interference and encouragement to the separatists.
2. Philippines and China 🇨🇳 to resolve the open seas arrangement with focus towards common Prosperity approach without the US interference...
To control the Philippines for over 100 years as a colony is long enough to gain enough and earn enough by the US .
Let them by having bilateral engagements settle matters ... highlighted by the Indonesian President Elect .
Can't do that if another party is being stingy
Let the US be the first country to reduce tension in its relationship with China. Begin by embracing as a friend NOT as an enemy. What has it got to fear as it is so powerful?
semuwa tc 1 tc 2
China do not respect international law and the UNCLOS, then there will always be tension in the South China Sea. Plain and simple.
Its a clash of ideas. The sophisticated weaponry, power projection are just tools.
In the end, God is sovereign. The Gospel must be preached.
Then the Kingdom of the true God will come and shall rule the earth 🌎 🙏 ✌️
Who cares.
Taiwan and Home Long 🏫
China change leader solves everything Liao. Whinny the Pooh is the problem mah. You people overcomplicated thing.
Nu uh, true china leader is the politburo, 7 of them, xi just 1 of them. Imagine there is 6 Xi's to replace the current.

Go back home and read proper HISTORY instead of failing your EXAM every Semester.

Sorry dear. Taiwan belong to China.
It takes punishment to change the Chinese🇨🇳 regime's behavior. Diplomacy won't.
