China's Major General Hu Gangfeng made waves at the Shangri-La Dialogue this week, pushing back against criticism of Beijing's policies with a clear message: "We do not accept groundless accusations against China." The vice president of the PLA National Defense University emphasized that the security forum should focus on solutions, not sensationalism.
Speaking to global defense leaders in Singapore, Hu stressed the dialogue's original mission to "study issues, not create them" – a not-so-subtle nod to recent geopolitical tensions. While he didn't name specific critics, the remarks come amid heightened debates about regional security dynamics in Asia.
🌐 Why it matters: The annual summit brings together top military officials from over 40 countries, making it a key barometer for international security trends. Hu's firm stance highlights China's growing confidence in shaping global defense narratives.
