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

US and Chinese military officials met in Hawaii for the first in-person meeting in years to discuss operational safety in the Pacific, following cancellations by China. The talks were described as critical for ensuring the safe operation of military forces, with a focus on air and maritime operational safety. This meeting follows President Biden's commitment to maintaining military-to-military communication with China and recent discussions between the two leaders. While there has been a reduction in unsafe behavior between US and Chinese aircraft, concerns remain about China's actions in the South China Sea.
