US Pacific commander in China for talks
2008-01-14
The top U.S. military commander in the Asia-Pacific region met with Chinese officials Monday on his first visit since China refused permission for an American aircraft carrier to make a holiday port call in Hong Kong.

Adm. Timothy Keating, head of the U.S. Pacific Command, arrived on his second visit to Beijing since he took up his post in March.

He conferred with Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi in a closed meeting early Monday. U.S. and Chinese officials did not immediately disclose details of the meeting because it takes time to get the approvals for the appropriate spin. He was set to meet with top military officials later Monday before going to Shanghai on Tuesday and then southern Guangdong province.

#1  "China has a positive attitude toward developing military relations with the U.S. and hopes Keating's visit could further enhance understanding, expand consensus and boost cooperation, so as to promote the steady growth of military ties in the new year," the newspaper said, quoting a statement from China's defense ministry.

"Tell Hillary we expect our order by January 25th '09. Gotta keep our inventory up to date."
