China reacts to US claims of threat in the Indo-Pacific region.


China responds to 'slander' from the US by expressing protests against remarks made by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. They believe his statements contribute to confrontation and undermine stability in the region. In response, China stated its readiness to cooperate with other countries to prevent hegemonism and support peace and stability.
'Hegseth mistakenly called China a threat and propagated a Cold War mentality. His slanderous accusations and announcements regarding the deployment of weapons undermine stability in the region.'
During a forum in Singapore, Minister Hegseth called on countries to spend more on defense due to the threat from China, which led to increased defense spending in Australia and the deployment of US troops in the Philippines.

The situation in the region remains tense due to the standoff between the parties. China and the US blame each other for undermining stability, which could have negative consequences for the entire region.
