minister has reacted strongly. what did he have to say? hey, well, in an address such took around 30 minutes, he covered a lot of ground, not just talking about ty, well, but other contentious security matters in the region. the speech started on a more positive, friendly, known, friendly tone, a general taking the time to acknowledge friendly relations and strong ties with all the asian countries. but then of course, it turned to the more serious matters of tensions between the u. s. and china, and of course, the matter of taiwan, the general took the time to say that he strongly disagreed with the statements made by lloyd austin. and he regard of them as me is against china. regarding the issue of taiwan, he made the comment that taiwan is china's taiwan. he made that comment several times throughout his speech. he mentioned that china more but once a civil war and china once

a peaceful pomp to re unification. but the speech also contained some warnings to any one who might think of perhaps, supporting taiwanese independence. he made it very clear in his speech that china will fight if necessary on all the contentious matters, such as the south china sea, which has been discussed at length during the course of these 3 days. security summit, he made the point that china actually has very positive relationships with other young countries. and while talking about the south china sea, he also appeared to take a swipe at the us, noting that countries within the asia pacific countries that actually have a stake in the south china sea must work together to prevent countries outside the region from turning into troubled waters throughout the speech multiple swipes as the u. s. he did make a note specifically about china us relations, noting that it is a mistake for the us to continue to regard china as a threat,

an adversary or even an enemy. and at china is open to dialogue, so long as those taking place at a place of mutual respect. throughout his speech while talking about many contented issues that have been discussed here at the shangri la dialogue in singapore, he made the point that china is not a bully used the was that i think we all know who the real belief is and that china is committed to peaceful development on all of these issues. thank you very much for that update. jessica washington live for us in singable. let's head to hong kong now where adrian brown is standing by a drain fung whose comments could be described as provocative to say the least. but they certainly not surprising. are they yes, this diplomatic punch and judy show between china and the united states has been going on for years. the difference now emily is that the language is becoming more

hostile, the finger pointing more vigorous. now delegates watching that speech to day by the chinese defense minister will worried because a lot of these are leaders do not want to find themselves. ready in a situation where they're having to take sides, they want to deal with china. it is the regions, largest economy, but they also want to deal with the united states, so they don't want to be in a position where they are force to make sides. now this was not just about taiwan, it is the one issue that has loom large along with ukraine on ukraine. the chinese defense minister posed a series of rhetorical questions. and of course, he stopped short of actually criticizing russia for its actions. but he did say that china supports the sovereignty of all countries in the world. so presumably that must also mean ukraine on a wide level, i think delegates or also concerned about the situation in the south pacific just

a few days ago. the chinese foreign minister wound up an extensive to where he visited 10 nations in that area. that is all so unsettled with the united states because they are worried about china's growing ambitions in that area who's a because of course, these island cit, amid boss tracks of ocean. what does china won't there? well, the foreign minister wang ye said, we want to help these nations in any way we can essentially, you know, he went there with a vast laundry list and said to them, what do we need for the united states? it's another area of concern back to each stage though, while things are tense, of course, over taiwan. i think you can't, but he say we all need a war. but neither can you say we are close to piece either. good way to put it. thank you very much for an outside agent brown line. press e, now hung comes to the united states now where hundreds of matches have been taking place across the country with demonstrators demanding tough
