However, Shanahan did address China\u2019s continued construction on and militarization of artificial islands reclaimed from the rocks and reefs in the area, pointing out that the artificial features could become metaphorical \u201ctoll booths\u201d and must not become the \u201ctoolkit of coercion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shanahan\u2019s speech was, however, less <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/asia-pacific\/2019\/05\/31\/shangri-la-keynote-blames-us-china-tension-for-global-anxiety\/\" target=_blank>confrontational than had been widely expected <\/a>in some quarters, rejecting a suggestion during the Q&amp;A portion that there is a \u201cfaceoff\u201d between the U.S. and China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He also reiterated that the competition brought about by China\u2019s rapid rise should be \u201cwelcomed and not feared,\u201d saying that the competition does not necessarily mean conflict and is a good thing as long as all parties played by internationally established rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">U.S. allies and partners who feared they will have to choose sides, as articulated in the summit keynote by Singapore\u2019s prime minister the previous evening, were also allayed by Shanahan, who stressed that the U.S. \u201cdoes not want any country in this region to have to choose or forgo positive economic relations with other partners.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shanahan\u2019s speech coincided with the release of a new Indo-Pacific strategy by the DoD. Shanahan addressed parts of the report in his speech, noting U.S. Indo-Pacific Command is four times larger than the next biggest U.S. combatant command, and emphasizing the $104 billion requested by the DoD for research and development in breakthrough technologies like artificial intelligence and directed energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The report itself noted that America\u2019s \u201cunique network of Allies and partners is a force multiplier to achieve peace, deterrence, and interoperable warfighting capability,\u201d and continued to call China a \u201crevisionist power\u201d and Russia a \u201crevitalized malign actor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the report also appeared to lack specific details about the DoD\u2019s plans or initiatives for the region, instead taking a broader view on what its force posture in the area will look like, as well as how it will affect U.S. partners and allies there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaking at the annual Shangri-La Dialogue security summit in Singapore, the acting U.S. defense secretary stressed that \u201cno one nation
