U.S. looking for closer military ties with China

The top U.S. military officer in the Pacific is slated to travel to China to help bolster the two countries’ military relationship.

The visit also hopes to iron out issues, including those over China’s recent port denials to U.S. Navy ships.

Navy Adm. Timothy J. Keating, commander of U.S. Pacific Command, will leave his Honolulu headquarters Saturday for the four-day visit, his second visit to China since taking command in March. James Shinn, sworn in Thursday as the new assistant secretary of defense for Asian and Pacific affairs, will join Keating on the trip.

technology because they were the Corporats buddies but lately China has been getting aggressive

I'll never forget how the Chinese military looked at Bush when he was there
the Premier was all smiles but the military had the hate look

3. I like diplomacy...
Seems to make sense since they've got lots of weapons and stuff. Diplomacy probably would help cut down on the incidents and with the Beijing Olympics around the corner now's probably the time to make nice since China wants to welcome the world to their country.
