Shangri-la Dialogue: US-China showdown dividing Asia | DW News

The deepening rift between the US and China is forcing Asian nations to make tough choices, as the world slips further into a contest between radically different visions of the world order — with Xi Jinping alongside Vladimir Putin pushing to upend the global system. The host of the Shangri-la Dialogue in Singapore, Bastian Giegerich, told DW’s Richard Walker that regional powers are having to decide whether to align with Washington or Beijing in a contest “that’s encompassing all areas.” And he addressed growing fears that Asia could be the next region to face a major geopolitically driven war. Giegerich warns that a conflict triggered by accident is the greatest worry — stressing the importance of the US and China building up communication channels to prevent the worst from happening.

He uses the term "primacy", just to avoid saying "supremacy".
Then he advocates for the "rule base order", while at the same time, the International Criminal Court is being under attack.
Game of words.

funny how dw couldnt find an asian in asia to comment about asia

[PranicEnergy]

The Rule Based Order basically means rules set by the US for world at large but not for itself and it's cronies.

[nulnoh]

The rule based order. Lmao. Where the US do not agree with the ICC ruling.

[alexwatson]

Could someone explain what is so-called "rule-based international order“？😂Is that enshrined in the UN Charter？ Or just some Anglo-Saxons mafia's mumbling ？ And what's happening in Gaza ? Does that violate the "rule-based international order“?😅

[wenfulin]

Rule based order = American rule = China Russia Keen down Kowtow

[jonathanjacob]

What kind of Primacy does the US expect to have in Asia? That era is over.

[stevencher]

Again they repeat the "rules based international order" with no one able to define what it is. Rules imposed by whom ? This is the SCS, 10K km from the US.

[devildevil]

This gentleman chooses his words so very carefully not to call out the villain.

Please pray for Peace ❤️💕 Don’t turn Taiwan 🇹🇼 into Ukraine 🇺🇦. Ukraine has 600.000 thousand dead and counting. Diplomacy NOT DEATHS

[MrCykotickiwi]

Leaders of the Asean Countries should take a tour of both US and China and compare Infrastructure.. crime etc... then decide which system/side actually cares about the wellbeing of its own people.

[zaheerrasheed]

If USA have right to have freedom of movement in South China Sea then Russia & China should have the right to free movement near Cuba, Venezuela, Mexico

[joethao]
