In a recent statement, Senior Colonel Jiang Bin, the spokesperson for China's Ministry of National Defense, addressed questions regarding the future of military relations between China and the United States. This discussion followed a phone call where Chinese President Xi Jinping emphasized the importance of enhancing communication on several crucial fronts, including foreign affairs, economic relations, military cooperation, and law enforcement.
Jiang Bin reiterated that China remains committed to the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation. He expressed hope that the United States would refrain from inflating concerns around a so-called "China threat." Instead, Jiang called for a concerted effort to respect China's core interests and key concerns, and to work collaboratively towards improving communication and dialogue. This approach, he suggested, would help manage differences, enhance mutual understanding, and ultimately strengthen the relationship between the armed forces of both nations.

Another delay tactic. They want to buy time and keep building up their military advantage.

Inflating concerns? Perhaps they should be more transparent about their military spending and intentions.

If China truly wanted better relations, they'd stop their cyberattacks first!

More of the 'same old, same old.' Until there's real, verifiable change, it's just a smokescreen.

Empty words. China always talks about cooperation but rarely acts on it when it comes to key issues.
