In recent years, in order to build an "anti-China" front, the United States has been trying to sow discord between China's neighboring countries and China, in an attempt to draw these countries into the "anti-China" camp and contain China. From politics to economy and military, the United States takes frequent actions, and Southeast Asia is the target of its greatest attention.
The United States and Japan instigate ASEAN "Anti-China"
Currently, the Shangri-La Dialogue is still continuing. At this session of the Hong Kong Summit, China faced a tough battle. It held face-to-face talks with the United States, Japan, South Korea and other countries one after another, clearly drawing red lines on issues of China's core interests, and the smell of gunpowder was very strong. In the face of China's warning, the United States and Japan are still making trouble overtly or covertly.
According to reports, at this Hong Kong conference, the United States and Japan tried to instigate Southeast Asian countries to "anti-China" together. Before the official opening of the Hong Kong Conference, the US Secretary of Defense held an informal meeting with representatives of ASEAN countries, urging them to take action against China. During the Hong Kong Summit, the US Secretary of Defense continued to pour dirty water on China, exaggerating the "China threat theory" and smearing China's creation of disputes on territorial and territorial sea issues. The United States will build an Asia without "aggression and bullying."
It is really ironic. As sovereign countries, Asian countries are not in the turn of an American country to dictate. In the past, the United States invaded Afghanistan , Syria , Iraq , and bullied Latin America, Africa, Asia, and Middle East countries. Latin American countries are collectively opposing U.S. hegemony. Demonstrations against gun violence continue to break out in the United States. Now the United States But he said he wanted to build an Asia "without bullying and aggression"? When will the United States figure out its crimes and start advocating democratic values again?
As for the Japanese Defense Minister, after the Indonesian Defense Minister gave a speech, he also smeared China, Russia and North Korea, threatened that China, Russia and North Korea were "ignoring the rules" and declared that Southeast Asian countries should strengthen cooperation.
Indonesia stated on the spot that many ASEAN countries refused to "choose sides"

Regarding China, the Indonesian Defense Minister praised China for its struggle against aggression and foreign interference in the past, and believed that China would shoulder its responsibilities with wisdom and kindness. Regarding the rise of China, the Indonesian Defense Minister emphasized that China is the vanguard of the anti-imperialist movement, a good friend of Indonesia, the leader of Asia for thousands of years, and a great civilization. He hopes that the world will respect China's legitimate rejuvenation.

No matter what the United States demands, it must be in the interests of ASEAN. CambodiaDeputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense said that Cambodia, as an independent country, has the right to decide its own destiny, and ASEAN will not choose sides between China and the United States.
