Asia's top security summit is underway in Singapore | Inside Story

The three-day summit - known as the Shangri-La dialogue - attracts high-level ministers, military heads and global security analysts. The focus will be on foreign policy - with sensitive diplomatic talks taking place behind closed doors. But relations are already frosty between the world's two superpowers - China and the US. Beijing has warned Washington against interfering in its affairs after their defence ministers met to discuss Taiwan. But while that relationship sees no sign of thawing, others are trying to find common ground. So which alliances might be strengthened?
And how is all this affecting the balance of power around the globe?

Presenter: Sohail Rahman
Guests: Andy Mok -- Senior research fellow at Center for China and Globalization.
Samir Puri -- A visiting lecturer in war Studies at Kings College London
David Des Roches - Professor at the Near East South Asia Center for Security Studies.
