Chinese military experts: The United States lacks these two types of dialogue in the Asia Pacific region | Zhang Chi | The United States
In response to the various hypocritical statements made by the United States at the 20th Shangri La Dialogue, Zhang Chi, a Chinese military expert and deputy director of the National Security Strategy Teaching and Research Office at the National Security College of the National Defense University, pointed out in an interview with Xinhua News Agency that the United States lacks inclusivity and sincerity in the Asia Pacific region.
Zhang Chi stated that the United States advocates for its leadership position, but ignores the security concerns and economic interests of most countries. In recent years, it has attempted to build multiple exclusive small multilateral mechanisms in the Asia Pacific region, but the results have been limited and it has been unable to attract the participation of ASEAN countries. One key reason why the United States has not realized is its lack of inclusiveness.
During this dialogue, after the speech by US Secretary of Defense Austin, Zhang Chi asked Austin, "On the one hand, the United States claims to support the central position of ASEAN, and on the other hand, it has established the US Japan India Australia" Quadrilateral Security Dialogue "and the US UK Australia trilateral security partnership. Are these mechanisms led by the United States contradictory to ASEAN's central position in the region?" In response to Zhang Chi's question, Austin answered the wrong way, but left and right, he said.

Zhang Chi said that while the United States sounds good, it is doing a different approach. For example, the United States verbally claims to want to strengthen military exchanges and communication with China, but at the same time, it continues to provoke China on the Taiwan Strait and South China Sea issues. "Where exactly is America's sincerity?"
Zhang Chi pointed out that similar examples are everywhere. In recent years, the United States has continuously made promises in the Asia Pacific region, but often the promises are just empty promises.
Zhang Chi also pointed out that China has released the "China Position on Political Resolution of the Ukrainian Crisis" document and sent special representatives to visit Ukraine, Poland, France, Germany, EU headquarters, and Russia to play a positive role in promoting peace talks. The international community is evident in these concrete actions. "By contrast, knowledgeable individuals can see very clearly who is promoting peace talks, who doesn't want the war to end, continue to send weapons, and stir up trouble?"
