US Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin III and Chinese Defense Minister Adm. Dong Jun held their first face-to-face talks in 18 months on Friday, meeting on the sidelines of the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore. The meeting was seen as an effort to maintain open communication channels between the two countries to prevent potential clashes. This comes after a series of high-level US officials have traveled to Beijing for talks on trade imbalances.
