China's new defense ministers work, but the Sino -US defense ministers "only shake hands and do not meet" at the incense meeting, allowing many people to develop a cold sweat for the next development of the Sino -US military relations.
Just everyone thinks that the US Minister of Defense Austin will take the opportunity of speaking at the plenary session on Saturday (June 3) on Saturday (June 3) to a series of sharp topics such as the Southern China Sea, the Taiwan Strait, "Democracy and Authority".He has reduced its efforts and started from the "free and open Indo -Pacific region" and the cooperation between the United States and the allies.
It wasn't until the end of the speech, and Austin really focused on the situation in Taiwan and mainland China, criticized the "unprofessional" air blocking behavior of Beijing, and then expressed "high attention" to China's refusal to defense.Compared with the tone of "increasingly aggressiveness" in the Asian region a year ago, Austin's gunpowder smell of gunpowder this year is relatively reduced.
In the Q & A session, face the sharp questions from the participants of various countries -whether to discuss military reserve control with China, what to say to him if the Chinese defense director Li Shangfu talks to him, how to protect the core position of the sub -safe security, Austin is not to avoid weight, soIt was reiterated the content of the earlier speech and did not further apply.
The situation of the United States and China hegemony is already a foregone conclusion, and it will not change suddenly before and after a fragrance meeting, but Austin is obviously not ready to render tension or upgrade the contradiction.It is worth noting that, in addition to Austin, most of the multinational defense ministers and representatives who have spoke at the incense meeting so far have slowed down the tone and talked about the need to have constructive dialogue and emphasize the importance of communication.
Perhaps as observors have pointed out, many ministers perceive that Europe is already in a war, and Asia does not need to have another more.The alertness and sincere "avoidance of war" for war are the potential of this incense meeting.
Indonesian Defense Chief Plaboor reminded another plenary session that once China and the United StatesThe contradictions between them have evolved into a "New Cold War", and the consequences of catastrophicness will be closer to the world.The Philippine Defense Minister Garves said that if regional countries lack trust and tend to act alone, they will to help the "iron curtain" return .
China -US Defense Ministers did not meet, and missed the opportunity to communicate and establish mutual trust, adding uncertainty to the regional situation.Seeing that the relationship between the two great powers was tight and concerned about the out of control of Sino -US relations, other countries consciously cool down the situation, or simply avoid the lightning area.The "persuasion and non -persuasion" of regional countries, and the appeal of "only move", reflect this universal psychology.
Dr. Huang Yonghong, Singapore National Defense Minister Huang Yonghong, accurately summarized the idea, including the Sino -US countries in the internal regional countries when receiving the media interview: Everyone thinks that things that occur in Ukraine will happen in Asia.It was a global disaster.
However, the reality of international geopolitical tension is still in front of everyone.Compared with the incense meeting last year, Austin and then Chinese Defense Minister Wei Fenghe determined at least in the last minute.Chang just hold a hand at the dinner .And this may be the best result of avoiding embarrassment and avoiding contradiction upgrades in the current situation.
Li Shangfu's term of office is at least five years, does China and the United States defense not directly contact within five years?Everyone should know that this is not a long -term score, but before the condition of satisfaction, both China and the United States will not give up.In other countries, in addition to "persuasion", everyone separates contact and dialogue between China and the United States, while expanding more three -party and five -party coordination mechanisms and arrangements.Sexuality is highlighted.
From the perspective of the high -hung "avoidance cards" at the incense meeting, everyone has realized that the situation is serious and take measures to avoid "sleepwalking into conflict" in this area.Austin said that the Taiwan Strait is neither a conflict, and the conflict is not inevitable, leaving room for turning.What kind of signal will Li Shangfu's Sunday's speech is worthy of attention.
