China accuses US and allies of destabilizing Indo-Pacific after near collision

• China's defense minister, Li Shangfu, accused the US and its allies of destabilizing the Indo-Pacific at a security summit in Singapore.
• Li accused the US of "provoking bloc confrontation for self-interest" and said Washington and its allies were making up rules to assert dominance over the region.
• Li warned that any "severe confrontation" between the US and China would be "an unbearable disaster for the world."
• US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin told the same forum a war over Taiwan would be "devastating" and affect the global economy "in ways we cannot imagine."
• The US accused a Chinese warship of cutting in front of an American vessel that was taking part in a joint exercise with the Canadian navy in the Taiwan Strait, forcing the American vessel to slow down to avoid a collision.
• Li said the US naval presence in the strait was an example of Washington creating chaos in the region.
• The Chinese destroyer came within 150 yards of the USS Chung-Hoon less than the length of the Arleigh Burke-class ship itself.
• The Chinese ship acted in an "unsafe manner" and "violated the maritime 'rules of the road' of safe passage in international waters."
• The incident is the second time in two weeks that Chinese military personnel have engaged in aggressive maneuvers in the vicinity of US military personnel near China's border.
• Austin called on Beijing to "do the right things to rein in conduct" of its forces after the recent incidents.
• People's Liberation Army Lieutenant General Jing Jianfeng told Chinese state broadcaster CCTV that the US defense chief's comments on Taiwan were "completely wrong."
• China recently rejected an offer from Austin to meet at the summit in Singapore, citing US sanctions on Chinese officials and companies.
