The United States and the People's Republic of China are preparing to announce the resumption of military-to-military communications, Axios reported Wednesday.
Anonymous sources told Axios that President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping will reveal the move after meeting on the sidelines of this year's Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit.
Among the channels canceled were the annual Defense Policy Coordination Talks and the Maritime Military Communications Agreement signed in 1998. "The Chinese are signaling that they will resume military-to-military communications, which is significant. It's a key priority for the Pentagon," said Bonnie Glaser of the German Marshall Fund, a foreign policy think tank. "But it remains to be seen whether they are willing to take meaningful steps to reduce the risk of accidents or discuss ways to preserve strategic stability.
The summit, which will be held in San Francisco from Nov. 15-17, serves as a means for 21 countries in the Pacific Rim to promote free trade throughout the region.
