The United States and China concluded two days of military talks in Washington on January 8-9. It was reported on the Pentagon website on Tuesday, January 9.
It is known that the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for China, Taiwan and Mongolia Michael Chase met with Chinese Major General Song Yanchao.
“This is the 17th US-China Defense Policy Coordination Talk. The parties discussed the US-China defense relationship, and Dr. Chase mentioned the importance of maintaining an open line of military-to-military communication to avoid the competition escalated into rivalry,” the statement said.
The parties discussed the importance of security in the Indo-Pacific region, regional and global security issues.
“The United States emphasizes the importance of respecting freedom of navigation on the high seas in light of China’s repeated pressure on legitimate Philippine vessels in the South China Sea,” the statement said.
Representatives of the United States and China discussed Russia’s unprovoked war against Ukraine and provocations by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK).
US President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping have announced at the end of 2023 that they will resume cooperation, which Beijing broke off after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited Taiwan in August 2022.
Earlier, Chinese President Xi Jinping announced Taiwan’s inevitable “unification” with mainland China and vowed to resolutely oppose any attempt to “separate” Taiwan from China.
