Though he praised the constructive tone between Trump and Xi, emphasizing mutual respect and practical cooperation, Hegseth made clear the U.S. remains focused on countering China’s military expansion and safeguarding regional stability. He called on allies to shoulder more defense responsibilities, applauding Asian partners while subtly criticizing European nations for prioritizing abstract ideals over shared security. Meanwhile, U.S. lawmakers voiced concern over perceived softening on China and Taiwan, but Hegseth insisted U.S. policy remains firm — no change in stance, no concessions — as America seeks enduring, interest-driven alliances.
