Hegseth Pledges U.S. Military Support for Taiwan Amid ‘Imminent' China Threat
While speaking at a conference in Singapore, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth swore that the U.S. would defend Taiwan should China attempt to 'conquer' the island. Appearing at the Shangri-La Dialogue, a security conference where world leaders such as French President Emmanuel Macron and Ministers for Defense from Japan, Australia and several other countries were also in attendance, Hegseth issued his most assertive statement on Taiwan to date, warning that threats from China could be 'imminent.' Hegseth told conference attendees, 'To be clear: Any attempt by Communist China to conquer Taiwan by force would result in devastating consequences for the Indo-Pacific and the world. We are not going to sugarcoat it. The threat China poses is real. And it could be imminent.' He added that, 'Communist China will not invade Taiwan on [President Trump's] watch‚' and asserted that the U.S.' goal is to 'prevent war, to make the cost too high, and make peace the only option,' although he did not provide specifics as to how this would be achieved. He also told conference attendees that together, their countries could demonstrate 'what it means to execute peace through strength,' but if that failed, the U.S. Department of Defense was prepared to do 'what it does best' and 'fight and win, decisively.' Hegseth also called upon U.S. allies in the region to 'upgrade their own defenses, telling those gathered, 'It has to be clear to all that Beijing is credibly preparing to potentially use military force to alter the balance of power in the Indo-Pacific.' China claims Taiwan as its territory and has declined to rule out using force to reclaim the island. Taiwan, officially known as the Republic of China, asserts its independence from China, which has offered the country a 'one country, two systems' model similar to that of Hong Kong, a move not supported by any major political party in Taiwan. While the U.S. severed official ties with Taiwan in 1979 and has no official position on Taiwanese sovereignty, it is bound by the Taiwan Relations Act of 1979 to provide the country with the means to defend itself. In February, the U.S. State Department removed a statement from its website asserting that the U.S. does not support Taiwan independence. In its place, a line was added that stated the U.S. would seek to support Taiwan's membership in international organizations 'where applicable.' Only 12 countries, such as Belize and Tuvalu, currently maintain formal ties with Taiwan, although many more maintain informal ties. Taiwan was expelled from the United Nations in 1971, and organizations to which China belongs have historically declined to grant Taiwan membership.

Metro Detroit group, winners of 2025 Grammy, to play free concert this weekend
A southeast Michigan-based classical/jazz ensemble won its first Grammy earlier this year and will play two concerts – one of them free of charge – in metro Detroit this weekend. The Akropolis Reed Quintet won the Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Composition for the composition "Strands" from their sixth album, "Are We Dreaming the Same Dream?" The ensemble joined forces with pianist/composer Pascal Le Boeuf and drummer Christian Euman for the track, in which Le Boeuf deconstructs the fabric of his American experience by recognizing the strands of his musical DNA, including influences from artists such as Dave Brubeck, Charles Mingus, Leonard Bernstein and Detroit jazz legend Geri Allen. The group will play this Saturday, May 31, at Northville's Marquis Theater, and on Sunday, June 1, at Detroit's Basilica of Sainte Anne de Détroit, the latter being free to attend. Akropolis is not your grandfather's typically expected, classical reed quintet, said clarinetist and artistic director Kari Landry. 'In the classical wind tradition,' said Landry, 'you have a flute and a French horn, and we don't have that. We have bass clarinet and alto saxophone instead. The five of us were students at the University of Michigan, and we all met in the bands and orchestras together and formed the group back in the 2008 – 09 school year, and it's been the same five of us ever since, which is really, really remarkable. And we're so proud of that. 'When we started out, the reed quintet was basically only in a few instances in the entire world, so there wasn't much music that existed for us to play. To date, we've created over 200 works for the reed quintet, and now there are hundreds of reed quintets, even just in the United States. So we're really proud of the instrumentation hopefully taking root within classical music, and that it'll be around for a long time.' Landry is especially excited about Saturday's Northville date, a hometown gig for her.

It's going to be really, really fun for us. My husband, Matt, plays saxophone in the group, and we've been in this area for quite a long time. We're playing a good bit of newly commissioned works that have been in our touring book this past season. 'And, for Sunday, the Basilica is just such a gorgeous venue and concert space. And we have a world premiere that's happening there, by Harriet Steinke, who's a fabulous visiting composer who'll be there. It's called 'Mass,' and Harriet based it around the five movements that happen in a mass. All the way from the Kyrie and Gloria to Sanctus and Credo, except it's a contemporary, minimalist, sort of modern classical take on it, using those as loose inspiration. And that concert is free, which is really awesome.' The group is still high from the unexpected Grammy attention, she said. 'The Grammy ceremony was just the coolest thing in the world,' she said, 'being a part of that community and getting to experience all of that. We honestly just went to have a good time – we had no expectation of winning, to be honest, and just wanted to say that we did this and soak it all in. I think it's going to be this moment that we'll remember forever. And it's meant so much, because we're the first ensemble of our kind to ever receive anything like that, let alone to even get a nomination. So it's meant a lot, and it's definitely opening up a lot of doors and opportunities. More: New Motown Museum exhibit honors the life and career of musician-songwriter Hank Cosby 'It really makes us feel incredible about everything we've devoted to it over the last 16 years together.' Landry credits Michigan for the quintet's continued success. 'I think it's because of the southeast Michigan community that we're still going really strong,' she said. 'You know, oftentimes it's not classical groups from the Midwest that get recognized in Los Angeles, or when it comes to these really, really prestigious competitions and awards. So it means a lot to us that we work from here.' The Akropolis Reed Quintet will play from 3-4:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 31, at Northville's Marquis Theater, 135 E. Main St. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased at They will also play from 4-5:30 p.m. on Sunday, June 1, at Detroit's Basilica of Sainte Anne de Détroit, 1000 Saint Anne St. That concert is free.

Miley Cyrus Told Us to Ask Her Anything
Miley Cyrus's entire life has been shaped by fame. Born at the height of her father Billy Ray Cyrus's celebrity, she spent her childhood at his sold-out country concerts. At 13, she became a star herself — and an important part of the Disney machine — as the titular lead in 'Hannah Montana,' playing a regular girl by day and a pop star by night and becoming a cultural touchstone for millennial kids. By the time Cyrus left the show, she already had dozens of Billboard Hot 100 hits, but industry and tastemaker respect was harder to come by. As with many former female child stars, her transition to adulthood in the public eye was marked by controversy (twerking with Robin Thicke at the 2013 Video Music Awards) and judgment (the Parents Television Council condemned the performance), which she looks back on today with some bitterness at how she was treated. Now 33, Cyrus is one of pop's reigning female queens, a status cemented by her first Grammy win for her 2023 megahit 'Flowers.' Her ninth studio album, 'Something Beautiful,' has just been released, and she says it's her attempt to reimagine what 'beautiful' means — her beloved grandmother's death, for instance, or the emotion of rage, which she told me is beautiful because 'it lets you know you're alive.' We also spoke at length about her close relationship with her mother, Tish Cyrus-Purcell, her repaired relationship with her father and how she has learned to protect herself in a world that is still fascinated by everything she does. But we started by talking about the first time I interviewed her, when her candor and openness quite honestly freaked me out. Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon | iHeart | NYT Audio App You know, I've interviewed you before. You look really familiar to me. No, we never saw each other because I was at NPR. The voice! I was a new host back then. I hadn't done a lot of celebrity interviews, and you came on and said: 'Ask me anything. Anything at all.' And I had no idea what to do with that. I just froze and thought, I don't know what to ask Miley Cyrus if she's saying, 'Ask me anything.' Would you say something like that now? I think I would say something like that now, but maybe paying a little closer attention. But yeah, you can ask me anything. I've learned that I'm in control. The worst that happens is I just leave the room — say, 'I'll be right back,' and then don't come back. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
