US accusations about Chinese military dismissed By ZHANG ZHIHAO | CHINA DAILY | Updated: 2021-05-26 08:01 Share The national flags of China and the United States [Photo/Xinhua]
Recent complaints by some US defense officials that the Chinese military is unwilling to communicate with US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin are false and misleading, because the United States has overstepped diplomatic protocol by requesting direct access to a senior leader in the Central Military Commission, a source close to the matter told China Daily.
Experts said that given the nature of military diplomacy, dialogue involving top military officials is typically done through military diplomatic channels, and it is counterintuitive for US defense officials to disclose progress or details of the exchange with the media.
BEIJING (Global Times): China and Russia held a new round of strategic security consultations on Tuesday (May 25) in Moscow, and during the frequent interactions between the two major powers in recent months, the world has showed a dangerous trend of disorder or tensions in some regions, including the Middle East, Eastern Europe, Central Asia and the Western Pacific, due to global strategic shift made by the US,
Chinese analysts said that the recent change has been generally caused by the decline of US hegemony, and not only will US pressure and hostility push China and Russia to stand closer, the decline in Washington s strength and influence in some regions will also make Beijing and Moscow consider how to figure out new regional order to stabilize the situation and protect their interests after the US pullout.
