China’s defence spokesman Senior Colonel Wu Qian told an online media briefing that senior officials from China-US militaries have had a telephonic conversation and agreed to strengthen communication, properly manage differences and disagreements, and expand cooperation in fields of common interests. “The US should walk with China toward the same goal instead of continuing provocations in the sea and air spaces around China”, he said. On controversy, if China-US military exchanges could proceed as normal as they faced multiple challenges coupled with the severe COVID-19 pandemic, Wu said “Working groups from the two militaries have conducted video conferences on crisis communication in the past days”. “The two sides have also planned to conduct seminars on military humanitarian assistance and disaster relief (HADR) and consultations on maritime security issues by way of video conferences respectively in the coming mid-November and December”, he said.
