Beijing says US knows clearly why military dialogue faces difficulties, urges US to show sincerity

Reuters: Our question is on reports saying that US Pentagon said China has declined its request for a meeting between the US Defense Secretary and China’s Defense Minister in Singapore. Some security analysts are also saying that US sanctions against the Chinese Defense Minister could be the reason why. Can the ministry confirm whether China declined the meeting and the reason for it? Mao Ning: The US is clear about the reason why China-US military dialogue faces difficulties. The US should earnestly respect China’s sovereignty, security and interest concerns, immediately correct wrong practice, show sincerity and create necessary atmosphere and conditions for dialogue and communication between Chinese and US militaries. __________________ ShanghaiEye focuses on producing top-quality contents.
