Wei Fenghe

Corruption investigations have toppled top leaders of the vaunted PLA Rocket Force. But the new replacements are just as interesting as the mysterious departures.

At this year's Dialogue, Chinese officials were strident and defensive – but it's better to have Beijing in than out.

The Shangri-La Dialogue returned to convene for the first time since 2019 this year. What was on the agenda?

Returning after a pandemic-induced three-year hiatus, the security conference reflected the world's growing uncertainty and tension.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Defense Minister Wei Fenghe spoke in Singapore, part of an effort to add “guardrails” to the China-U.S. competition.

Taiwan, Ukraine, and growing U.S.-China competition are all expected to figure during the three-day conference.

A recent trip by China’s defense minister featured key stops on the planned International North South Transport Corridor, India’s answer to the Belt and Road.

Japan recently conveyed to China its position on several security concerns.

A blockade of Nepal in 2015 that was unofficially supported by India has paved the way for greater ties between Beijing and Kathmandu.

Wei Fenghe's visit has predictably led Indian analysts to claim that he had India in mind.

The Indo-Pacific, China-U.S. rivalry, the South Pacific, the South China Sea, and more loomed large this year.

The dynamics at play at Asia’s premier security summit only reinforced existing regional worries that the divisions between Washington and Beijing are set to endure.

A closer look at the significance of recently announced steps by both sides to strengthen security ties in spite of lingering challenges.

For the first time since 2011, China will be represented at the regional security forum by its defense minister.

The interaction highlighted the ongoing activity in the security realm between the two sides in spite of significant lingering differences.

It'll take more than a reconvened Diplomatic and Security Dialogue to get the U.S. and China off their current trajectory.

There are hopeful signs on several fronts, from trade issues to security ties.

The Chinese defense minister's visit to India is not a cure-all for what ails the relationship.

It was the first time new members India and Pakistan sent their top defense officials to the gathering.

Twin visits to Russia by China's foreign and defense ministers send a clear signal of China-Russia cooperation.

The move helps Xi consolidate control over the military while avoiding a major backlash.
