How does the Shangri-La Dialogue affect U.S.-China relations?
Again, that's shopify.com slash morningwire.
A major defense summit in Asia called the Shangri-La Dialogue that began Saturday has already led to some positive partnerships, as well as the U.S. and China trading barbs.
Joining us from Singapore, where she's helping lead the U.S. delegation at the defense summit there, is Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence. Director Gabbard, thank you so much for talking with us.
Thank you. Great to join you here today from the other side of the planet.
Yeah, literally the other side of the world. So first, there were immediately some major headlines coming out of the Shangri-La dialogue. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave a speech Saturday, delivered some rather ominous warnings about the threat of China.
Any attempt by communist China to conquer Taiwan by force would result in devastating consequences for the Indo-Pacific and the world. There's no reason to sugarcoat it. So is China about to take military action?
I think it's important to take a step back and look at the full context of Pete Hegseth's comments there. The indications show us that the answer to your question is no. And really, the overwhelming message that Pete delivered is the message that we hear from President Trump, which is, that he is the president of peace. And the goal here within this region, as well as in others around the world, is to be able to achieve that. And that's really why these kinds of conferences, this one in particular, are so important, because it provides the opportunity for leaders to come together and engage together in dialogue, engage in diplomacy. Once again, with that goal of how do we find areas where we can best pursue our goal of peace and stability that best serve our respective peoples in our countries and around the world.
This is a significant summit, hundreds of delegates representing dozens of nations, as you've said. How much has China been the focus of this summit so far?
