China, US to Restore Comprehensive Military Ties
China and the United States are looking at restoring comprehensive military relations after an 18-month hiatus in their defense talks.
Defense officials from China and the United States concluded Wednesday the 10th annual round of defense consultations, the first and highest-level defense dialogue since the Obama administration took office.
"The development of Sino-U.S. military ties has not been very smooth and still faces some obstacles," said Chinese Defense Minister Liang Guanglie in a meeting with U.S. Under-Secretary of Defense for Policy Michele Flournoy Wednesday afternoon.
The obstacles included U.S. weapons sales to Taiwan.
"We hope the United States would take substantial measures to remove the barriers that hinder our military relations," said Ma Xiaotian, deputy chief of the General Staff of the Chinese People's Liberation Army.
"The development of bilateral defense relations still falls behind that of bilateral relations," Liang noted, stressing that the two sides should view and promote military ties from a strategic, long-term perspective.
"China wants to develop its military relations with the United States based on the principles of mutual respect, trust, reciprocity and mutual benefit," Ma told a press conference after the talks.
He said China also proposed to construct a pattern for military exchange and cooperation with the United States with features of "reciprocity" and "mutual benefit."
Sino-U.S. defense consultations were suspended after the outgoing Bush administration announced a 6.5-billion-U.S.-dollar arms package for Taiwan last year. The next round of annual talks would ordinarily have been held in December.
