Hey everyone! The Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore has sparked some heated discussions. At the 22nd edition of this key security forum, Chinese defense spokesperson Zhang Xiaogang called out U.S. actions, saying remarks by U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth were packed with old-school hegemonic logic, bullying tactics, and a Cold War mentality.
Zhang emphasized that these tactics not only violate China’s sovereign rights but also disrupt regional efforts for prosperity and stability—issues that hit home for young professionals across South and Southeast Asia, who value forward-thinking dialogue and a peaceful, tech-driven future.
In our rapidly evolving world of technology, lifestyle trends, and global connectivity, it's crucial to keep discussions focused on unity and modern challenges rather than falling back on outdated rivalries. Let’s keep the conversation alive and work together for a better, more innovative tomorrow! 🌏✌️
