CHENGDU: Chinese and American soldiers finished a week-long disaster rescue exercise on Friday, furthering military ties between the two countries even as military tensions rise between China and US military allies in the Pacific region.
The exercise, which included 20 US soldiers visiting facilities in three Chinese cities, are meant to bring the two rivals closer together through non-combat military collaboration, and to allay fears of countries in the region worried over China’s rising influence. “Our senior leaders have been pretty clear: they’re seeking a positive, cooperative and comprehensive relationship between our two nations,” said Maj. Gen. Stephen Lyons, commander of the US Army’s 8’th Theater Sustainment Command, based in Hawaii.
