‘Hegseth touted the cold war…’ China BLASTS U.S In Response To Pete Hegseth's Speech In Singapore
China has lashed out at U.S. Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth following his remarks at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, where he warned that China could imminently use military force against Taiwan.
Beijing condemned the speech as provocative and divisive, accusing Hegseth of inciting bloc confrontation and pushing a Cold War mentality.
China's foreign ministry dismissed the U.S. accusations as defamatory and asserted that only Washington deserved the label of a hegemonic power.
The fiery exchange underscores growing regional tensions over Taiwan and the Indo-Pacific power balance.

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has described America’s widely perceived failure against Yemen’s Houthis as a “tailored operation,” claiming the goal was freedom of navigation and not the protection of Israeli-linked vessels. Notably, Hegseth made no mention of Israel during his statement. Critics argue the Pentagon has rebranded a humiliating military result, after months of failed deterrence against Houthi strikes in the Red Sea. The Pentagon's shifting rhetoric has sparked fresh debate over U.S. credibility, especially in light of its deep alliance with Israel.

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a dramatic warning of potential war with China, yet claimed the U.S. seeks no conflict. In a speech filled with paradoxes and Pentagon code, Hegseth promised “peace through strength — seen and unseen, overt and covert.” He emphasized that the U.S. will not humiliate or subjugate China but is fully prepared for confrontation. The remarks deepen concerns over rising tensions in the Indo-Pacific, suggesting a looming power struggle between Washington and Beijing conducted in part through shadowy, undisclosed means.

Taiwan’s Defense Ministry detected eight PLA Navy ships operating near its waters, signaling a show of force by China. In addition, China launched satellites over central Taiwan, prompting heightened military alerts. In response, the U.S. is deploying advanced missile systems, including the NMESIS and HIMARS, to the Philippines for joint anti-ship drills in the Luzon Strait. These moves come amid rising tensions in the South China Sea, with the U.S. and its allies increasing readiness to counter China’s aggressive posture after condemnation at the ASEAN summit.

Tensions surged near Sandy Cay on May 22 as Chinese Coast Guard vessels sideswiped and blasted Philippine research ships with water cannons. China slammed the mission as “illegal,” warning of further action, and accused the US of using the Philippines to provoke Beijing in the South China Sea. The Philippines condemned China’s “aggressive interference,” reporting vessel damage and safety threats. Sandy Cay is part of the disputed Spratly Islands, also claimed by Vietnam and Taiwan. The incident adds fuel to the ongoing maritime conflict and challenges a 2016 arbitration ruling.

The prime minister says he will make the UK a “battle-ready nation”, whilst Defence Secretary John Healey has pledged to “create a British Army that is 10 times more lethal”, as the Strategic Defence Review is published. The government aims to spend 3% of GDP on defence by 2034, although the Treasury has not yet guaranteed to fund it, and some of the UK’s Nato allies say it is not enough. Report by Jonesia.

U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are expected to speak soon amid escalating tensions over critical mineral trade. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirmed that China may have violated a key agreement, accusing Beijing of withholding essential industrial materials. With global supply chains in jeopardy, aides expect the upcoming call to iron out issues.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has accused Quad nations — the US, Japan, and Australia — of dragging India into a de facto military alliance, despite Delhi’s stated focus on economic ties. Speaking at a Eurasian security forum, Lavrov warned of coordinated naval drills aimed at militarizing Quad beyond its original scope. He also pushed to revive the dormant Russia-India-China (RIC) trilateral platform, asserting that Western powers are deliberately stoking Indo-China tensions by reframing the region as "Indo-Pacific" with anti-China goals. His remarks signal Moscow’s shifting strategic focus in Asia.
