''United States Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said on Saturday he was deeply concerned by China's unwillingness to engage on military crisis management, warning that talks are key to avoiding conflict.
The relationship between the United States and China is at its lowest point in decades, as they remain deeply divided over everything from the sovereignty of Taiwan to espionage and territorial disputes in the South China Sea.
Speaking at Asia's top security summit, Austin said that open lines of communication between U.S. and Chinese defence and military leaders were essential to strengthen guard rails against conflict and bolster stability in the Asia-Pacific.
"I am deeply concerned that the PRC (People's Republic of China) has been unwilling to engage more seriously on better mechanisms for crisis management between our two militaries," Austin told the Shangri-La Dialogue, Asia's top security gathering, in Singapore.''
so, let's get this right ------------- the USA have their nose out of joint because they are over 10,000 km from home on the other side of the world and Pacific way out of their own backyard - sticking their nose into other people's business
and they are complaining that the locals won't talk to them about the military situation
well bugger me
if the yanks want to go for peace --------------- easy, bugger off home, stay home and mind their own business
