China warns 'NATO-like' alliances could lead to conflict in Asia-Pacific

China's Defence Minister Li Shangfu warned 'NATO-like' alliances would lead to conflict in the region
Singapore (AFP) - China's defence minister warned Sunday against establishing NATO-like military alliances in the Asia-Pacific, saying they would plunge the region into a "whirlpool" of conflict.
Li Shangfu's comments came a day after US and Chinese military vessels sailed close to each other in the flashpoint Taiwan Strait, an incident that provoked anger from both sides.
"Attempts to push for NATO-like (alliances) in the Asia-Pacific is a way of kidnapping regional countries and exaggerating conflicts and confrontations," Li told a security conference in Singapore also attended by US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.
Li warned that these alliances would "plunge the Asia-Pacific into a whirlpool of disputes and conflicts".
Li's comments echoed long-held Chinese criticism of the United States' efforts to shore up alliances in the region and counter China's rise.
The United States is a member of AUKUS, which groups it with Australia and Britain.
Washington is also a member of the QUAD group, which includes Australia, India and Japan.
"Today's Asia-Pacific needs open and inclusive cooperation, not buddying up into small cliques," Li said at the Shangri-La Dialogue security summit.
Li sought to paint the United States as the trigger of regional instability, and China as seeking to ease tensions.
"It cannot be denied that if a fierce conflict or confrontation occurs between China and the United States, it would bring unbearable pain for the world," he said.

Miscalculations​

On Saturday, Austin called for top-level defence talks with Beijing to prevent miscalculations.
"The more that we talk, the more that we can avoid the misunderstandings and miscalculations that could lead to crisis or conflict," Austin said.
Also on Saturday, the United States deployed a destroyer from its 7th Fleet along with a Canadian naval vessel through the Taiwan Strait.
China responded by sending one of its naval ships close to the US destroyer, the USS Chung-Hoon, according to the Pentagon.
The strait is one of the world's most tense potential military flashpoints.
China claims Taiwan as its territory -- vowing to take it one day, by force if necessary -- and has in recent years ramped up military and political pressure on the island.
Austin on Sunday described the incident as "extremely dangerous", saying the Chinese vessel crossed "probably 150 feet (46 metres)" in front of the Chung-Hoon.
"I call upon the (Chinese) leadership to really do the right things to rein in that kind of conduct, because I think accidents can happen that could cause things to spiral out of control," Austin told reporters in Singapore.
Saturday's Taiwan Strait encounter followed what the US military said was an "unnecessarily aggressive maneuver" by one of Beijing's fighter's near a US surveillance plane in the South China Sea last week.
Li told the Singapore audience on Sunday that the onus was on the United States to pull its military presence away from areas near China.
"Our Chinese military aircraft and warships won't ever go near the airspace and territorial waters of other countries to engage in so-called navigational hegemony," Li said.
"The best thing would be if all countries, and especially their warplanes and warships, refrained from wandering through other country’s territorial airspace and waters. What are you hanging around here for?"
Austin and Li shook hands and spoke briefly at the Singapore event's opening dinner on Friday, but there was no substantive exchange.
The United States had invited Li to meet with Austin on the sidelines of the conference, but China declined.
A senior US defense official told journalists Sunday that the US had also offered lower level meetings but that China didn’t respond.
A member of China's delegation told AFP that the removal of US sanctions on Li was a precondition for talks.
However, there have been some signs of improved dialogue between the two nations.
CIA Director William Burns made a secret trip to China last month, a US official announced on Friday.
Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs Daniel Kritenbrink will also travel to China on Sunday for a rare visit.
In his speech in Singapore on Saturday, Lloyd outlined Washington's extensive partnerships in the region.
"America’s partnerships are bringing the region closer together to help keep it free, open, and secure," he said.

The personal message at the bottom of your post has me concerned I hope you are okay. Otherwise, China along with North Korea has been rattling sabers for years when they want something from Western countries it is bluff mostly. It is a dangerous game they play, let's hope common sense prevails and no escalation to war happens. The U.S.A. needs to stay active in all parts of the world and gain friendly alliances with as many democracy-loving countries including Taiwan as possible to counter any moves by Mainland China. To me, those ruling mainland China act more and more like Naziism than communism. Taking a stand against totalitarianism around the world is a must for the U.S.A. and freedom-minded people to survive.

Our answer to the Chinese assholes should be a joint military exercise with the USA,Taiwan, S. Korea, Australia, Japan and The Phillipines close to China.Show those arrogant bastards they cannot intimidate us.

thanks for your concern. :)
yeah, i'll be fine.
posted that message 9 days in advance of my complaints commission hearing, so it's bound to resolve into a stalemate (yet again).

Otherwise, China along with North Korea has been rattling sabers for years when they want something from Western countries it is bluff mostly.

i'd say that capitalism is also a form of totalitarianism.
 
China is kowtowing to the US and its allies in the eastern Pacific.

Any combat related to Taiwan will be with conventional weapons, which China at a position of having to consider just how much it is willing to take without starting a nuclear war.

He's hardly "warning". China is bigger than NATO. All NATO countries put together have a smaller population than China. Even with NATO and South Korea, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, it's still smaller than China.
So China clearly doesn't want alliances to go against their growing power.


However China always blames everyone else. "We want your land, if you oppose us, YOU will cause this conflict". It's the way they talk and nobody should be fooled by it.
 
Communist China is so full of shit

There isn't a company on Earth China hasn't ripped off by making copies of their products but as long as we buy these copies it will even greaten their profit. We have seen what this profit has been used for and we can only blame ourself. Try staying away from Wal-mart and Harbor Fraight. You know saving that buck now will end up costing you in the future.

China warns 'NATO-like' alliances could lead to conflict in Asia-Pacific

China's Defence Minister Li Shangfu warned 'NATO-like' alliances would lead to conflict in the region
Singapore (AFP) - China's defence minister warned Sunday against establishing NATO-like military alliances in the Asia-Pacific, saying they would plunge the region into a "whirlpool" of conflict.
Li Shangfu's comments came a day after US and Chinese military vessels sailed close to each other in the flashpoint Taiwan Strait, an incident that provoked anger from both sides.
"Attempts to push for NATO-like (alliances) in the Asia-Pacific is a way of kidnapping regional countries and exaggerating conflicts and confrontations," Li told a security conference in Singapore also attended by US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.
Li warned that these alliances would "plunge the Asia-Pacific into a whirlpool of disputes and conflicts".
Li's comments echoed long-held Chinese criticism of the United States' efforts to shore up alliances in the region and counter China's rise.
The United States is a member of AUKUS, which groups it with Australia and Britain.
Washington is also a member of the QUAD group, which includes Australia, India and Japan.
"Today's Asia-Pacific needs open and inclusive cooperation, not buddying up into small cliques," Li said at the Shangri-La Dialogue security summit.
Li sought to paint the United States as the trigger of regional instability, and China as seeking to ease tensions.
"It cannot be denied that if a fierce conflict or confrontation occurs between China and the United States, it would bring unbearable pain for the world," he said.

Miscalculations​

On Saturday, Austin called for top-level defence talks with Beijing to prevent miscalculations.
"The more that we talk, the more that we can avoid the misunderstandings and miscalculations that could lead to crisis or conflict," Austin said.
Also on Saturday, the United States deployed a destroyer from its 7th Fleet along with a Canadian naval vessel through the Taiwan Strait.
China responded by sending one of its naval ships close to the US destroyer, the USS Chung-Hoon, according to the Pentagon.
The strait is one of the world's most tense potential military flashpoints.
China claims Taiwan as its territory -- vowing to take it one day, by force if necessary -- and has in recent years ramped up military and political pressure on the island.
Austin on Sunday described the incident as "extremely dangerous", saying the Chinese vessel crossed "probably 150 feet (46 metres)" in front of the Chung-Hoon.
"I call upon the (Chinese) leadership to really do the right things to rein in that kind of conduct, because I think accidents can happen that could cause things to spiral out of control," Austin told reporters in Singapore.
Saturday's Taiwan Strait encounter followed what the US military said was an "unnecessarily aggressive maneuver" by one of Beijing's fighter's near a US surveillance plane in the South China Sea last week.
Li told the Singapore audience on Sunday that the onus was on the United States to pull its military presence away from areas near China.
"Our Chinese military aircraft and warships won't ever go near the airspace and territorial waters of other countries to engage in so-called navigational hegemony," Li said.
"The best thing would be if all countries, and especially their warplanes and warships, refrained from wandering through other country’s territorial airspace and waters. What are you hanging around here for?"
Austin and Li shook hands and spoke briefly at the Singapore event's opening dinner on Friday, but there was no substantive exchange.
