Top US Naval Commander says China Ties 'Collegia!'

摘要

Sydney: A top US naval commander in Asia described military relations with China as "collegia!" and rejected Cold War comparisons, urging "methodical and thoughtful" diplomacy in the region. US VAdm Scott Swift, commander of the Japan-based US 7th Fleet who was in Sydney for bilateral exercises, said on July 16 that maritime security was an increasingly important issue in the Indo-Pacific region as both trade and militarisation boomed. "Economic power is being converted to military power in many parts of the region, which may increase the temptation to use coercion or force in an attempt to resolve differences between nations," he said in a speech to the Lowy Institute foreign policy think tank.
