Secretary Hegseth told a room full of military defense officials and diplomats that there is rightful alarm at what he called China's historic military buildup.
He was less clear on how to prevent an escalation and did not clarify the status of U.S.

Hegseth also touted better U.S.-China relations, coming off what he called a historic summit between President Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping in Beijing.
