War with US would be unbearable disaster, says China defence minister
China's defence minister has said war with the US would be an "unbearable disaster" for the world in his first major speech since taking on the role.
Earlier the US alleged "unsafe" manoeuvres by a Chinese destroyer near a US warship in the Taiwan strait. Gen Li, who became defence minister in March, accused the US of a "Cold War mentality" and said this was "greatly increasing security risks". He was speaking at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, the Asia-Pacific region's only annual security meeting.
One of China's delegates told AFP that the removal of US sanctions on Gen Li was a precondition for talks.
