Washington: China is carrying out destabilizing activities in Asia
13:18 - 01/06/2019
BAGHDAD -
Acting US Defense Secretary Patrick Chanahan on Saturday blamed China for a series of destabilizing activities in Asia, triggering mounting tensions between the world's two largest economies.
In a speech on regional defense ministers at the Shangri-La Security Forum in Singapore, Shanahan called on Asian allies to increase their defense spending while stressing the US commitment to the region.
Shanahan did not name China by accusing "elements" of destabilizing the region.
"Perhaps the greatest long-term threat to the vital interests of the countries of this region will be elements that seek to undermine, rather than strengthen, the international rule-based system," Shanahan said in his first keynote address since assuming office as acting defense minister in January.
Shanahan's remarks come as relations between the United States and China are witnessing an escalating trade war, as well as their dispute over a series of issues from the South China Sea to Taiwan, which China considers part of its territory. Ending / 25
