U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reassured allies in the Indo-Pacific on Saturday that they will not be left alone to face increasing military and economic pressures from China. "The threat China poses is real," Hegseth said while speaking at the Shangri-La Dialogue, a global security conference hosted by the International Institute for Security Studies. He said Washington will bolster its defenses overseas to counter what the Pentagon sees as rapidly developing threats by Beijing, particularly in its aggressive stance toward Taiwan.
