US-China tensions escalate at Asia security summit.

The lack of communication between the US and Chinese military is becoming a growing concern at the Pentagon, with China being slow to establish military contacts and quick to shut them down during periods of diplomatic tension. While the US is pushing for more and deeper military communications, China is reluctant to engage, believing that the US military is operating in its sphere of influence. The lack of communication increases the risk of potential flare-ups and accidental military clashes, with the US making over a dozen requests to talk with the Pentagon since 2021, all of which have been declined or not responded to by China.
