‘Unfortunate’ that Chinese counterpart declined talks: US Defense Secretary

Beijing’s decision to decline a meeting between US and Chinese defense chiefs is “unfortunate”, particularly given recent “provocative” Chinese behaviour, US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said Thursday.



Washington had invited China’s Minister of National Defense Li Shangfu to hold talks with Austin on the sidelines of a defense summit in Singapore this week.

 But Beijing opted against the meet, though it declined to officially confirm the snub, with a spokeswoman saying only “the US knows clearly why there are currently difficulties in military communication”.
