- Defence chiefs from across the globe are set to gather in Singapore for the 21st edition of the Shangri-La Dialogue. CNA's East Asia Tonight takes a deep dive on how the platform has evolved with the times, as geopolitics become more unpredictable.

To remain relevant, the voice of China's top tier defence people must be heard. Once China sends lower ranking people, you can close shop. Dont allow yourself to be a tool of US Pacific Command.
Agreed. We want China Defence Minister to be here for the Defence dialogue.
@@choonhockong8215but we have someone here that is rude and insulting using archaic pompous language on non native English speakers.
@@jlee8181 who?
The PAP govt has done a great job in hosting the dialogue. It's so obvious that PAP is the only competent and responsible party in s'pore.❤❤
Next PAP target is to expand our territory be it using military actions! Vote PAP!
What is the point in having this SDL.....?
With the Xiangshan Forum welcoming the Global South, SDL is nothing more then a Lap Dog of the USA.
Mostly for the western leaders to push their narratives and the US to play the big, friendly brother image, defending all weaker allies/ nations in defence of its hegemony. Why highlight the conflict in the South China Sea instead of the genocides happening in Gaza, where thousands of innocent Palestinians have been massacred by the Zionist regime, supported financially and militarily by the US and allies. Why not discussed about the hundreds of protests by citizens happening all over the world against the hypocrisy of their leaders and government? Why don't the delegates discuss about the hypocrisy of the US's "Rules based International Order" when it comes to Gaza? Well, clearly this is a forum for the western interests organised by a British think-tank, mainly to serve their own western interests.
I am from USA, there is tianjin china, I have actually met people from there. Usa is part of OECD (top government council) and Apec trade organization (Include Mexico and some countries in South America). The pacific and arctic ocean are major future.
There is also the IPAC for democracies to work together.
Is that Netanyahu speaking? 😅😅
This dialogue is fast becoming an annual propaganda ritual with opposing sides trying to outcompete vociferously against each other !
Spot on!
Asia, particularly ASEAN, can be a peaceful region as long as USA and NATO stay out.
Look at Ukraine and Gaza.
Ukraine war was sparked by the West, in particular USA, manuvering and instigating President Zelensky to antagonise President Putin. Unfortunately, President Zelensky foolishly listened to USA and NATO which led to Russia launching a military operation in late 2022. To date, both USA and NATO chose to prolong the war instead of easing and stopping further hostile activities, leading to greater suffering by Ukrainian civilians.
Gaza war was sparked by an attack on Israeli civilians by Hamas militants on 7 October 2023. PM Netanyahu reacted by launching a war against Hamas, without any regard for the human lives of Palestinian civilians in Gaza. To date, Israel claimed to have killed 10,000 Hamas fighters, but more than 30,000 Palestinian civilians perished in the onslaught by Israeli forces. Are the Palestinian civilians regarded as justified collateral by PM Netanyahu? Yet, instead of demanding a ceasefire, which United Nations did and is still doing, USA vetos and continues to ship military weapons to Israel.
Is USA interested in PEACE at all?
Certainly USA is NOT.
Good points. The US and its western allies don't meddle in Asean and Asia region. We want peace and not wars.
you all are rubbish
@@choonhockong8215 Only wishful thinking, for Japan welcome a NATO office base in Tokyo 2023 and US proxy Philippines in ASEAN. Like Ukraine, if it happen, it would be by USA proxy.
Why would US interested in peace? Their military weapons export is one of their biggest revenue 😂
stop greediness of china follow international law asia become peace full ....
Why is the Israel war is not mention in the Shangrila dialogue. Its the most important agenda that needs to be resolved immediately
GT getting quoted on CNA 🙃
CNA doesn't seem to be aware of the ramming of small Philippine boats by the Chinese Coast Guard... in Philippine waters.
CNA quoting from GT? Why doesn't CNA quote from Rappler instead. Is our media vassal of China now? Talk about a united Asean, we got a long way to go.
From Singapore state media to China state media
CNA knows Philippines is trying to prop up the Wrecked structure on the island that wasn't Philippine's but Malaysian's.
And Malaysian will be angry with Singapore, and gets nothing for meddling.
China has never asked ASEAN countries to take sides. Trade and cooperation has always been the main topic. It is the US tried to ask countries to take sides. And the main topic is always China…
Is it western centric?. Of cos it is we have sesquipedalian people rude to to point of telling others take it or leave it.
The Shangri-La Dialogue is crucial for addressing security concerns in Asia, especially in light of Chinese aggression against Philippine Coast Guard vessels and fishermen, as well as economic coercion and political intimidation in Taiwan, highlighting the need for regional cooperation and dialogue to ensure stability and peace.
Instead of sending coast guard to protect the dispute area, the Philippines choose to risk their fishermen and journalist life to make propaganda news. *Code of Conduct (COC)* hasn't been finalized or signed yet, trespassing in a disputed area guarded by Chinese Navy is not a smart move for the Philippines leader. The Code of Conduct in the South China Sea (COC) is a set of rules to *Maintain peace and stability* in the South China Sea, *Promote safe and open access* to the sea, *Resolve disputes peacefully* according to international law.
@@LivingLonger The particular aggressive actions by China occur in the Exclusive Economic Zone of the Philippines - i.e. the zone belonging only to the Philippines.
@@TuaTagovailoaTouchdowns Aggressiveness came from the Philippines vessels move towards Huangyan Island, the dispute area. (1) Huangyan Island (Scarborough Shoal) is not part of Philippines and confirmed with Political Map of the Philippines 2008 to 2011 (NAMRIA Philippines). (2) The Hague tribunal ruling does not award Huangyan Island (Scarborough Shoal) to the Philippines and confirmed with Permanent Court Of Arbitration - The Hague 12 July 2016 Press Release.
Historical claims is weak 😅
What's important singapore became a multi-nation country, multi-nation-singapore so even with the saf soldiers also no use, it's the pap party mistakes and there's no way to u-turn back.
U no brain to think? We are learning from Qin Dynasty, welcome all talents people, our ultimate aim is to be powerful, not only rich! Soon we can united the world under Singapore flag, all use singlish and SGD, then the world will be peaceful! PAP always have great ambition! Vote PAP!
@@HawkishMerlion1965 One world One family. Islam got it Hindustan Got it. And now tiny island Got it.
What is the point in meeting with Chinese 🇨🇳 officials?
- When was the last time they said something honestly?
When was the last time the lying west said anything honest? Any western lap dogs in the room?
@@ToiChutGongWuHow upsetting for you Wubot 😂
When was the last time the US government said sth honestly? Maybe the quote from Mike Pompeo - “I was the CIA director. We lied, we cheated, we stole…”
As usual nextlastchang talked rubbish.
What's the point in meeting with the American official warmonger who did nothing nowadays but instigating, inciting, sanctioning, robbing (wealth) and participating in wars all over the world ? Where ever they are Americans they are wars, period !!
"Double I, double ass" ? So, meaningful under contemporary geopolitics and its disORIENTED facilitators ! 😂
Western centric? The BRICS is still reliant of the West for their economies to work.
The west isn’t reliant on BRICS. lol
If war happens in South China because of aggressive behavior of Philippines under Marco Jr, then Singapore economy will nose dive because it relies on global trade with no natural resources it will be then at the mercy of Malaysia for foods and daily necessities. Someone should control Marco’s junior on his war posture.
I strongly agree with your views. Singapore will be badly affected should bong bong Marcos Jr miscalculated moves to create wars with China in the South China Seas. Suddenly Singapore economy will be badly affected especially if India a member of the US led Quad block the Straits of Malacca. No ships could pass through the Straits of Malacca and Singaporean will be starved to death. Got money and yet unable to buy food from other countries. The Singapore property will drop by 50% overnight 😂.
@@choonhockong8215 maybe that’s the grand plan of Bong Bong Marcus Jr. He has been envious of Singapore for a long time.
But BongBong is only a puppet with hand tied.
@@biggpicture2930 How much Bong Bong remind all of Zelensky of Ukraine
China is aggressively using military grade lasers and water cannoning Filipino civilians. China is also claiming a big chunk of Philippine’s exclusive economic zones. If war breaks out, it’s by self-defense and the finger would be on Chinese aggression. ASEAN, including the Philippines prefer restraint and diplomacy for the region to peacefully develop. Sigapore isn’t the only one who suffers if there is escalation-almost 50% of world trade passes through the area. ASEAN needs reforms in order to have a bigger voice in their own backyard and to balance Chinese or American influence and dominance! Collectively ASEAN will be a big force in a multipolar world if it gets its act together.
What's important majority people said after they took the jabs previously but nowadays they only became more and more easily to fall sick, it's the pap party mistakes and there's no way to u-turn back.
The Shangri-la dialogue have been losing relevance fast as a forum that primarily serves US interests.
Precisely... It's a gathering of mostly western, non-asian delegates to promote US hegemony and EU interests, even to the extent of provoking Chinese delegates at the last dialogue. What hypocriscy and how shameful to watch...address Asian, Asean security concerns in the Asia Pacific and South China Sea especially from constant US aggressions and to avoid another proxy war in this peaceful region.
And China is still there?
As usual Am-Boy is Philippines President Bong-Bong, even in his late father Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos, people power, he to Hawaii. As usual 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🤑🤑🤑👺👺👺--👨🏽🦽🌴🦅☕️
A waste of time
Marcos as keynote is not a wise move. Unless intent is a chance for him to come back from isolation from ASEAN security. He is causing aggressiive conflict in SCS which PH has zero chance except as 100% sacrificial lamb of US.
Am sure China was better how many Defense minister now 2 or 3
Who’s going to take you seriously, if your defence minister can go missing at the snap of the finger?
Well they don't exactly take orders from you do they so why can't do whatever that suits their interests?
@@ssss8162Sure. Continue to feast on fake eggs fried in gutter grease.
china stop greediness and follow international law asia become peacefull ... china is no 1 liar
