Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleUS Defense Secretary Mark Esper says he plans to visit China this year, as Washington takes a tougher stance against Beijing in the disputed South China Sea.
Esper says he has spoken to his Chinese counterpart several times and hopes to make the trip by year’s end.
He tells a seminar that one of the goals of the trip will be to “establish the systems necessary for crisis communications and reinforce our intentions to openly compete in the international system in which we all belong.”
