China's Defense Minister Warns That a War With the US Would Be an Unbearable Disaster

China's defense minister says that a war with the US would be an unbearable disaster. China declined to hold a meeting between its defense ministers and secretary of defense Lloyd Austin at the Shangri-La dialogue in Singapore. The US has refused to lift sanctions that were imposed on Li due to his role in purchasing Russian military equipment because China bought some stuff from Russia somehow the US thinks that gives them right to sanction Chinese officials. Canada will significantly increase its military presence in the Indo-Pacific region ignoring Beijing's warnings about Taiwan.
