Resumption of US-China Military Dialogue Boosted by Biden-Xi Meeting

The United States and China have restored communications between their two militaries, with Gen. Charles Q. Brown holding a videoconference call with his Chinese counterpart, Gen. Liu Zhenli. This marks a significant step in the relationship between the two powerful militaries, which have had frosty relations in recent years due to tensions over Taiwan and the South China Sea. The call comes after President Biden and President Xi Jinping agreed to resume the dialogue during a summit last month. Gen. Brown emphasized the importance of communication to reduce misunderstandings and miscalculations, while China stressed the need for the U.S. to have a correct understanding of China.

China is still hesitant to resume military dialogue with the US despite the recent visit of US Secretary of State Antony Blinken to Beijing. Mainland defence analysts believe that China is concerned that the US will continue to undermine its "core interests" on issues such as Taiwan. Blinken was unable to secure an agreement on resuming communications between the two militaries during his visit.

"US-China tensions escalate at security summit over Taiwan Strait and potential war"

The US and China traded barbs at the Shangri-La Dialogue summit in Singapore, with US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin calling out China for refusing to engage in military dialogue, and China's Defense Minister Li Shangfu accusing the US of lacking sincerity. The war of words occurred as a China warship came within 150 yards of a US destroyer in the Taiwan Strait, which separates China and Taiwan. The incident underscored the potential for conflict as relations between the two global powers stay strained.
