China Snubs US, Lloyd Austin Gets A Handshake Instead Of Talks | Both Sides Playing To The Gallery?

In his speech on the second day of the Shangri-La Dialogue, Austin said that any time is the right time to talk. Austin and his Chinese counterpart Li Shangfu briefly spoke and shook hands at the opening dinner of the defence summit in Singapore. But the US said Beijing had declined its request for a more substantive meeting between Austin and Li on the sidelines of the conference.
