U.S. military ties with China are “absolutely vital,” Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said in Beijing today at the start of a visit that will conclude July 13.
“I can’t think of any place where there is more to be done and more to be gained than between the U.S. and China,” Mullen said. “We have not always enjoyed a great success in our military-to-military relationship. I would want to very much look into the future in terms of the success of this relationship.”
