US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Chinese counterpart Admiral Dong Jun to meet in Singapore, first since April, amid China's military drills around Taiwan.
US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is expected to meet with Chinese counterpart Admiral Dong Jun at a major defense conference in Singapore next week, marking their first meeting since a phone call in April. The meeting takes place amid China's ongoing military drills around Taiwan and as the US and China work to improve their relations, which had been largely frozen since former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to the island in 2022. The US is obligated under federal law to ensure Taiwan can defend itself.
