英语课
US National Security Advisor 1 Thomas Donilon says more dialogue can address issues over ties with China without the need for confrontation 2.
That includes the two militaries communicating to avoid misunderstanding.
"A deeper US-China military-to-military dialogue is essential to address many of the sources of insecurity and competitions between us. It remains 3 a necessary component 4 of the model we seek, in this critical deficiency of our current relationship."
