According to reports, on June 4th local time, Cameron stated that out of the 1078 air defense facilities visited on the first day of inspection, 359 were not ready, 122 were locked, and only 597 were operational. He said on social media "Telegram", "The fact that only half is open and ready is unbelievable to me.

The United States has been wronged again. Recently, the US Department of Defense has been complaining everywhere, saying that China has rejected the US request for a meeting between the US and China defense ministers.

At present, the 20th Shangri La Dialogue is being held in Singapore, with Chinese State Councilor and Defense Minister Li Shangfu invited to attend. The proposed "China US Defense Ministers Meeting" by the US aims to have US Defense Ministers Austin and Lee Sang fu meet in Singapore.
