SHENYANG, China (AP) -- A top U.S. admiral said Monday he has issued a rare invitation to Chinese commanders to observe a U.S. military exercise next month on Guam in an effort to strengthen ties.
Admiral William Fallon, wrapping up a weeklong visit to China, said he hoped such visits would become part of regular exchanges between the two militaries, which have had little interaction since they broke off following the 2001 collision of a U.S. Navy plane and a Chinese fighter jet.
Fallon said officers from other Asian militaries also were invited to attend the Valiant Shield exercise on the sea near Guam. He said his Chinese hosts reacted positively to the invitation but had not said whether they would attend.
Fallon, a commander of U.S. Pacific forces, said he told Chinese commanders that building a "track record of confidence," would help persuade the U.S. Congress to lift restrictions on military interaction between the two sides.
Insomma la US NAVY invita i nanetti gialli per dimostrargli
che gli USA non scherzano!!!
