China declined a US request for Secretary of Defence to meet his counterpart in SG - theold - 30-05-2023
The US had proposed in May that the two defence officials meet at the Shangri-La Dialogue that is set to take place in Singapore.
China demanded that the US lift sanctions that were imposed on Li in 2018 over the role he played overseeing an arms purchase from Russia.
China had argued that Li would not be on equal footing with Austin if the sanctions stayed in place, Bloomberg News reported earlier.

They want to lecture the Chinese.
What is the point of meeting?

If both quarrel during the meet, the side that Singapore take will definitely win and we know which side.
RE: China declined a US request for Secretary of Defence to meet his counterpart in SG - theold - 30-05-2023
Individual sanctions still can talk to each other.

We can always just keep quiet. This has always been our stand, to not take sides, so your comments are moot.

Like a parent like a child. You slap, sanctions, on that child and you still want the child to listen to you.

China's defence minister is sanctioned by USA.
If they want to meet, they should lift the sanction first!

The nature of the Shangri-La-la dialogue has changed significantly in recent years. When it was first inaugurated, the forum was led by US with terrorism as the hot topic. China then was not militarily on par with US and often only sent middle level delegates as observers.
At that time it served more as a western oriented platform to discuss military “cultural” exchanges and perhaps also as an informal trade show for US and some European countries to pitch their products to potential customers.
Nowadays it has turned into yet another opportunity for China and US to slug it out for support amongst attendees. I doubt there is much value now as all we’re going to see is China and US officials trading barbs while the rest of the attendees all act blur and refuse to commit to either side.
If China and US don’t end up meeting each other privately, then the whole forum is meaningless.

China should not reject the chance for dialogue. If both sides don't talk, the issues will never get resolved.

Lift the sanction first mah!
How can you sanction him and expect him to talk to you?
Expect him to beg you to lift sanction meh!?

We only take sides with the law. It would appear that we are siding one country against another, but it only "appears so" and is not the case.
Eg: Russia. By attacking Ukraine, Putin broke international law. We are not siding Ukraine.

The human bear didn't take the bans lying down. He retaliated right.
It is only when both sides sit down and talk, can the bans be lifted at both sides.
It is clear that the human bear is not being cooperative.

If the conflict escalates to an actual war where the PRC army destroys Kaohsiung, and the ROC army destroys Fuzhou, it is only Chinese cities destroyed and Chinese blood shed while the US loses maybe some aircraft, and most of the Americans are just reading New Your Times or Washington Post while munching on Big Macs.
I don't think the human bear is smart if he starts a war. It would like Malaysia provoking the rest of Singapore to fight with the peepur of Hougang, each killing the other. Sinkies are dying but no jhk died? Stupid isn't it? Oh wait! at the workplace, this is actually happening...the office politics where you get the sinkies to backstab each other while the jhks watch, and act innocent.

Your beloved Assmerican daddy has slapped one thousand sanctions on China.
China has only returned with a few.
Now that China’s defence minister is under Assmerican sanction. You expect him to beg your Assmerican daddy to lift sanction on him at the negotiation table?
Simple good will also don't know?
