BEIJING – China’s defence minister Dong Jun warned the United States that efforts to “contain, deter, or interfere with China will be futile” during a video call with US defence secretary Pete Hegseth on Wednesday, state broadcaster CCTV reported. The talks covered tensions over Taiwan and the South China Sea, with Dong reiterating Beijing’s opposition to “interference” and vowing to thwart any support for Taiwan’s independence. Hegseth stressed Washington does not seek conflict but will defend its Asia-Pacific interests. Both sides acknowledged sharp differences yet agreed to maintain dialogue, with the Pentagon describing the exchange as “candid and constructive.”
