BEIJING, July 12 Xinhua News Agency Hong Kong 11 issued a document that, visiting the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff Mike Mullen led the delegation, was high-courtesy, to show China’s sincerity, adding new impetus to bilateral military relations. In recent days, China is still in many areas and multi-form exchanges with the United States, with little apparent military exchanges and pragmatic attitude, citing outside attention. However, the key issues in the United States, China principle will never get to do the transaction.

article excerpts are as follows:

visiting the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff Mike Mullen led a military delegation, although the total length of the May visit of the PLA ChenBingDe a return visit But Mullen arrived in China after 9, not only by the high standard of hospitality in recent days, China is still in many areas and multi-form exchanges with the United States, appear rare in the history of military exchanges and pragmatic attitude, citing outside attention.

analysis, the U.S. military “think tank,” said the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and its position on key issues, often determines the U.S. military to China. Therefore, the Chinese visit by Mullen, sincerity, to adding new impetus to bilateral military relations.

Military Academy Major General Luo Yuan, researcher believes that the “high” expression, including many Chinese, including the Central Military Commission Vice Chairman will meet with national leaders Mullen, chief ChenBingDe Mullen presided over the ceremony and will banquet. “Multi-field” line is that Mullen will visit several Chinese military units, some of its key equipment may be the first public display. “Multi-form” is reflected in Mullen’s visit to China is not only a diverse range of talks, including a press conference, visit universities and other activities, which is conducive to the military generals close contact with the academic people. Mullen visited on the 10th Chinese People’s University and the Chinese students face to face, he delivered a speech and accept the students’ questions, which helps students understand the Chinese idea of ??Mullen.

China Institute of Contemporary International Relations, Assistant to the President and the U.S. Yuan Peng, director of the Institute that Mullen’s visit is a Sino-US military exchanges onto the mechanism, an important indicator of the normalization of the track, but also the two year an important part of military exchanges. Visit the project reflects China’s sincerity.

to visit projects, the Center for American Studies, Fudan University, Professor Wu Xinbo said that out of the U.S. urges transparency in China’s expanding military understanding, the Chinese side will make the arrangements for the United States should be harvested.

First, Mullen and his party will visit China’s Second Artillery Corps, the armed and the military units. Including the Second Artillery Corps as master of China’s strategic missile forces and nuclear sectors, senior officials of the United States open to a limited extent. In the past, former U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and Gates, although visited the Second Artillery, but their pace just to stay in the Second Artillery headquarters, is difficult to be able to see the Second Artillery weapons, combat forces of the “real content.” If this can witness the “mystery of the division” and its equipment, it is undoubtedly more for the United States.

Secondly, Mullen and his party in addition to Beijing, will also visit Shandong, Zhejiang and other places. Because the two are the North Sea and East China Sea Fleet base location, and Mullen, a former U.S. Navy chief of operations. If the naval base access to attend, whether or not to show it will be the Aspect submarine, because the U.S. military to China’s anti-ship missiles and submarines have mental vigilance. This two-Fang Zengxin doubts is good.

this year, in the “Olympic Hu” After the proposed new position of Sino-US relations, military ties have maintained good momentum. Year, U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates visited China in May China-US strategic security dialogue was held, Chen Bingde chief’s visit, consultation, and in June launched the Asia-Pacific affairs, have greatly expanded the depth and breadth of military interaction.

However, the key issues in the United States, China principle will never get to do the transaction. Some experts refer to, the high-level military meeting, “the South China Sea issue” will not be around after the Vietnamese leader envoy, Philippine Foreign Minister visited China, South China Sea issue tends to cool down, but the United States and other six countries with the Philippines not long ago a joint military speech, as well as with Japan, Australia in Brunei waters near the military exercises have been interested in public opinion is interpreted to contain China.

In this regard, the South China Sea issue, China will emphasize to the U.S. bilateral negotiations with countries in the region’s consistent position to resolve the South China Sea, on the other hand is likely to require the U.S. to achieve “military intentions transparent” – in The exercises in waters near China’s intention to make the necessary explanation to the Chinese side. China must allow the United States recognize that in the South China Sea issue Hengshengzhijie to create disturbances, no good for both sides.

All in all, China is developing military relations uphold a positive attitude, looking forward to with the United States in respect, mutual trust, equality and mutual benefit based on a new military relationship, this has been clearly expressed to the United States. (Shi people)
