WASHINGTON — Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel announced Monday that he would go to China next year as part of an effort to forge closer ties between the U.S. and Chinese militaries.

The former U.S. senator from Nebraska broke the news during a joint press briefing Monday with China's defense minister, Gen. Chang Wanquan.

Both leaders, in prepared remarks, touted the progress made during meetings at the Pentagon, including agreements for visits by top military officials of both countries and additional joint military exercises.

They said increased military-to-military cooperation would help avoid tensions in the region and make it easier to tackle shared challenges.

1. Baloney, USA don't want cooperation, they want submission

ain't gonna happen, China knows what the USA is up to.

USA freaked when China shot down one of their own satellites a while back.

Why?

Not because they were about junk in space, but because someone with a few brain cells realized

"if they can shoot down their own satellites, they can shoot down ours!"

Without satellites, USA's military will be crippled.

And who is the largest manufacturer of electronics do you suppose?

China.

USA's corporate world made that happen with their greed for the almighty $$.

I'll bet China's missiles are not aimed at the USA,

they are aimed at USA satellites.

Just my opinion.
