The head of the Pentagon proposed to establish a communication channel with the Chinese military by analogy with the practice of exchanging data between the Russian Armed Forces and the United States in Syria
US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin made a statement to which China is responding. According to the head of the Pentagon, he is concerned about "the aggressive actions of China in the Indo-Pacific region."
In a statement, the American general, who became the chief military official in the Biden-Harris administration, pointed out that "China's actions could provoke a serious military crisis."
Lloyd Austin, speaking to congressmen:
At the same time, Austin said that such a problem should be discussed not only with allies, but also with opponents. According to the US Secretary of Defense, it would be possible to establish a line (channel) of direct communication with the Chinese military in order to prevent possible conflicts in the region.
It was noted that in this case we can talk about a communication channel similar to the one that operates between the American and Russian military in Syria. There, thanks to the timely exchange of data, it is possible to prevent serious conflicts between military personnel from the contingents of the US Army and the RF Armed Forces.
Lloyd Austin:
In China, responding to the statements of the head of the Pentagon that the actions of the PRC can "lead to a serious military crisis", they noted that it is time for the United States to stop broadcasting the idea of the "Chinese threat" and pay attention to its own actions in different parts of the planet.
