Beijing says US, China to pursue military crisis-communication pact
Chinese account says militaries will conclude a memorandum ‘as soon as possible’, but Washington has not publicly confirmed it
China and the United States have agreed to pursue a new military crisis-communication pact following the summit between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping, according to Beijing, potentially giving commanders another mechanism for managing dangerous encounters across the Indo-Pacific.
China’s Foreign Ministry said on Saturday that the two militaries had agreed to conclude a memorandum of understanding on “crisis communication and prevention” as soon as possible.
