U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, who attended the talks, stressed the security of the United States and its allies and referenced South Korea\u2019s wartime operational control (OPCON). This is Kim Ji-soo reporting. [Reporter] Speaking at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth warned that no country \u2014 including China \u2014 should seek hegemony in Asia. On the 30th, local time, he told delegates the United States seeks a stable balance of power. He urged allies to increase defense spending and said it was encouraging that partners like South Korea are moving more quickly to assume wartime operational control. Hegseth also reiterated a call for defense budgets to rise to 3.5% of GDP, arguing that regional security has relied too heavily on U.S. military power. He praised South Korea for committing to such an increase, commending its pragmatism and leadership. While reaffirming the need to defend Taiwan, he added that decisions on U.S. arms sales to Taiwan are for President Donald Trump to make. This year\u2019s meeting served as a barometer for the direction of U.S. security commitments in Asia as China accelerates military modernization and adopts a more assertive Indo-Pacific posture. China\u2019s defense minister, Dong Jun, did not attend the Shangri-La Dialogue, so there were no talks between the U.S. and Chinese defense chiefs. This is Kim Ji-soo of Yonhap News TV.
