DOD Delegation Concludes Military Talks With China

Sept. 16, 2024 | By Joseph Clark, DOD News |

 

A Defense Department delegation concluded the latest round of military-to-military talks with Chinese counterparts over the weekend, as U.S. officials continue to emphasize ''the importance of maintaining open lines of communication for responsibly managing competition. ''

 

Michael S. Chase, deputy assistant secretary of defense for China, Taiwan and Mongolia, led the U.S. delegation to Beijing for the 18th iteration of the Defense Policy Coordination Talks between the U.S. and China.

 

The two sides discussed a range of regional and global security issues as part of the exchange, including U.S. concerns over China's support for Russia's defense industrial base and the impact that support is having on European and transatlantic security.

 

"DOD also reaffirmed the U.S. commitment to defending its Indo-Pacific allies, and the department emphasized the importance of respect for freedom of navigation as guaranteed under international law in light of ongoing aggressive PRC [People's Republic of China] harassment against lawfully operating Philippine vessels in the South China Sea," a senior official said Sunday at the conclusion of the talks.

 

The U.S. delegation also underscored the importance of maintaining peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait, raised concerns about ongoing provocations from North Korea, and urged China to encourage stability and de-escalation in the Middle East.

 

''The talks mark a continuation of U.S. efforts to maintain the recently reestablished open lines of communication with China. ''

 

President Joe Biden secured China's agreement to return to military-to-military talks last November after meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum in Woodside, California.

 

In January, senior U.S. and Chinese military officials resumed the U.S.-China Defense Policy Coordination Talks at the Pentagon. Prior to that, the high-level talks were last held in September 2021.

 

Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III emphasized the importance of maintaining open lines of military-to-military communication at multiple levels during his first meeting with Chinese Defense Minister Dong Jun on the margins of the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore in May.

 

Last week, the commander of U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, Navy Adm. Samuel Paparo held a video teleconference with China's Gen. Wu Yanan, commander of the military's southern theater. During the call, Paparo noted the necessity of continued military-to-military dialogue.

 

Following the latest talks in Beijing, officials emphasized that the military-to-military dialogue does not signal a change in the U.S. approach to China.

 

"The department continues to view [China] as our pacing challenge as described in the National Defense Strategy," the senior official said. "[China] continues to be the only U.S. competitor with the intent and, increasingly, the capability to overturn the rules-based infrastructure that has kept peace in the Indo-Pacific since the end of the Second World War."

 

The official added that the U.S. "remains clear-eyed about [China's] intentions and their actions in the region and around the world."

Secret Service: Suspect in apparent Trump assassination attempt didn't fire weapon aka: patsy

Ryan Wesley Routh was charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number.

The man arrested in connection to the apparent assassination attempt of Donald Trump did not fire a shot and did not have a line of sight of the president, the Secret Service said on Monday.

 

Authorities believe Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, pointed a high-powered rifle through a fence near where Trump was playing golf at his club in Florida on Sunday. A Secret Service agent reportedly saw the rifle in the treeline and fired toward Routh, who was able to flee the scene.

 

"With reports of gunfire, the former president's close protection detail immediately evacuated the president to a safe location," Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe Jr. said.

 

Routh was arrested on Sunday after a witness told authorities that they saw him drive away in a Nissan SUV. According to a criminal complaint, deputies with the Martin County Sheriff's Office pulled Routh over nearby on I-95.

 

"He was driving with the flow of the traffic," said Martin County Sheriff William Snyder. "I think he may have thought he got away with it.

 

Routh made an appearance in Federal Court on Monday. He was wearing dark prison scrubs with his feet and hands shackled, according to Scripps News West Palm Beach. He was charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number. If convicted, Routh could face up to 15 years in prison for the first charge and five years for the second.

 

Investigators are still determining a timeline of the events and how Routh got within several hundred yards of the former president. ''The criminal complaint states that cell phone records show his phone was in the area 12 hours'' before a Secret Service agent spotted the firearm in the bushes.

 

What to know about the suspect

 

Routh lived in North Carolina prior to moving to Hawaii, where he owned a construction company.

 

The 58-year-old has been an outspoken critic of Trump and a supporter of Ukraine. He reportedly volunteered to fight for Ukraine in its war with Russia. He also calls the former president “an idiot, a buffoon, and a fool” in his self-published book.

 

Routh has a criminal past involving guns. In 2002, the Greensboro News & Record reported Routh barricaded himself inside a roofing business in North Carolina during a three-hour standoff with police. Routh was hit with several charges in the incident, including possession of a weapon of mass destruction, which was a fully automatic machine gun.

 

Officials speak out

 

President Joe Biden has called on Congress to provide the Secret Service with more support.

 

"I think Congress should respond to their need," President Biden said on Monday, adding the Secret Service can determine whether that means more personnel.

 

President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris previously said they were thankful Trump is safe.

 

“I am deeply disturbed by the possible assassination attempt of former President Trump today," Harris said in a statement on Sunday. "As we gather the facts, I will be clear: I condemn political violence. We all must do our part to ensure that this incident does not lead to more to violence."
