Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has warned that China poses an "imminent" threat to Taiwan, urging Asian nations to increase their defence spending and collaborate with the United States to prevent conflict.
Speaking at the Shangri-la Dialogue—a prominent annual defence summit in Singapore attended by top Asian military officials—Hegseth insisted that while the US does not "seek to dominate or strangle China," it would not retreat from Asia nor permit intimidation of its regional allies.
