Hmm looks like a good tension defusing measure.

 

[somebozo]

Despite the war of words between administrations the armies are run by much more level head people and such exchanges do happen on regular basis. After all China is the largest trading and economic partner of America and global player with far outreach as such cannot be ignored.

Indians need not to get soo excited over recent coziness with USA or think about reaping benefits too fast.

 

[Numba9hockey]

It always is good news to hear rival navies conducting exchanges together. Even tho there are morons in both governments, its nice to see that the U.S. and China can work together without political B.S. hope more exchanges happen between the 2 nations.

 

[Akasa]

Friendship will be secured if we can separate military affairs from politics.

It's not military's job to set policy,but to follow them(until it had conflict with you own moral). Miltary's respect each other even if they are/will be the enemy.
