Addressing an audience of 2,000 military officials and diplomats, Dong urged nations to abandon provocative posturing in favor of a balanced approach to international cooperation. His comments reflect China’s deepening military diplomacy, which increasingly relies on complex bilateral exercises to project influence across disputed waterways and the Taiwan Strait.
The timing of the summit carries significant weight, arriving as observers track the possibility of a high-stakes meeting between President Xi Jinping and Donald Trump. By framing regional instability as a consequence of reviving past grievances, Dong positioned China as a stabilizing force, even as the country remains embroiled in ongoing maritime disputes with its neighbors.
