Share - WeChat

At the World Peace Forum in Beijing on Thursday, senior Chinese diplomat Liu Jianchao criticized US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's remarks at this year's Shangri-La Dialogue. Liu said the rhetoric of "achieving peace through strength" is merely a new expression of hegemonic thinking. "It provokes confrontation and conflict, rather than promoting peace and harmony," Liu said.
