"US and China Resume Military Talks on Pacific Operational Safety"

After a nearly two-year hiatus, U.S. and Chinese defense officials have resumed talks on unsafe and aggressive incidents involving their militaries in the Pacific region, aiming to enhance safety in the air and at sea. The meeting in Hawaii marks a thaw in relations between the two countries, with discussions focusing on specific incidents and broader policy issues. Both sides have expressed commitment to open communication and have noted a reduction in unsafe incidents by Chinese military aircraft and ships in recent months. The talks come amid ongoing tensions over Taiwan and the South China Sea.
