U.S. top officer backs stronger military ties with China

[xhw1986]

The United States must build stronger military-to-military ties with China despite their differences on issues such as China's recent establishment of an air defense identification zone (ADIZ) over the East China Sea, said U.S. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Martin Dempsey on Thursday.

"So as the dynamics in the region continue to change, we must build stronger military-to-military relationships with the (Chinese military). We must seek avenues and mechanisms to avoid miscalculation," Dempsey said in answering questions while hosting his first town hall on Facebook.

While reiterating that the United States does not recognize the ADIZ and U.S. military aircraft will continue to fly in the area, Dempsey admitted that he understood why China took the act to establish the ADIZ over the East China Sea.

"From a realist perspective, nations will act in their interests all the time. China is no different," the top U.S. military officer said, hoping the dispute will be solved peacefully.

The top U.S. military officer added that he would contact his Chinese counterpart in the coming days to discuss the ADIZ issue.

China on Wednesday urged the United States to respect its establishment of the ADIZ with an objective and fair attitude.

According to Foreign Ministry Spokesman Hong Lei, Chinese President Xi Jinping reiterated China's principled position on the ADIZ during talks with visiting U.S. Vice President Joe Biden.

During Wednesday's talks, the Chinese side stressed that the move is in line with international law and practices, and the U.S. side should take an objective and fair attitude to respect the establishment of the air zone, Hong said in a written press release on Thursday.

China announced on Nov. 23 the establishment of the ADIZ over the East China Sea in a move to defend its territorial and airspace security, as well as safeguard flight order and security in the air. This move has triggered strong reactions from Japan and the United States, which called it a unilateral move to change the status quo.

China has vehemently dismissed the accusations as unjustified and biased, citing that the establishment of its ADIZ conforms to international law and practices as many countries, including the United States and Japan, have already done so.

I like this Irish man. He is an educated person. I would love to read his Masters' thesis on the Irish Literary Revival.

I am not fully convinced that USA is China's ultimate enemy. Educated and rational people cannot be China's enemy. China's ultimate enemy is someone else and that is not either Japan or Vietnam.

Cause in western culture, Dragon with wings are the sybolism of Devil.

Why the Dragon not splitter water? We have water dragon and earth dragon at the same time.

The only forever enemy of China is Japan, USA is considered temporarily.

Your grudges are misplaced. Put them in the right place.

Japan is under US military occupation and each of their moves is directed from Pentagon. Hope some of Beijing's moves are not from Moscow.

There is more than what meets the eye.

USA is never the same as Japan. One is try to keep China under its pawn and the other one wanna wipe Chinese out of the Planet.

You shall take USA and Japan differently, although USA always support Japan in some way. But the final destination of these two countries is very different.

To USA, ideology is more important. To Japan, to kill all Chinese is more important.

That explains why USA supported China in world war two. Do you think USA will support Japan if KMT is still in power?

USA is the world policeman. In its ideology, no one shall surpass them or don't follow its dictation.

Not sure about Indians, but your parents will accept a Japanese wife as she would be another East Asian like you. Book a ticket to Tokyo now.

Then what is the use of having such hatred towards Japan if you don't want to invade it? Make Japan your father in law!

I think, the only way have reconciliation between China and Japan is to make all Chinese marry Japanese and vice versa!
