Chinese authorities deny Pentagon chief meeting with Chinese Defense Minister
Beijing has not granted a US request to organize talks between Chinese Defense Minister Dong Jun and Pentagon Chief Lloyd Austin "on the sidelines" of a meeting of Asian defense ministers in Laos, Defense news reports, citing an unnamed US Defense Department official.
"A senior official at the agency told reporters ahead of the summit in Laos that the Pentagon had offered such a meeting, but China had refused, citing US arms sales to Taiwan," the publication reports.
The source noted that, in his opinion, the real reason for the refusal is US sanctions against Chinese companies, the visit of then Speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan in August 2022, and the incident with a Chinese balloon that ended up in US airspace in February 2023.
