U.S. Pentagon Chief Lloyd Austin Meets Chinese Counterpart 
-----------------------------------------------------------

United States Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has met with China's
minister of national defense. The pair had a brief meeting scheduled on
the sidelines of the Shangri-La Dialogue, a gathering of world leaders
and military officials in Singapore. The meeting comes amid tensions
between the U.S. and China over Taiwan and North Korea, and as the Biden
administration presses ahead with plans to arm Australia with
nuclear-powered submarines.
