Trust vital to US, China military ties
By Cui Xiaohuo (China Dail)
Updated: 2009-06-25 08:05 Trust. It is a word often heard when senior defense officials from China and the United States get together for their high-profile talks. But analysts say, after three decades of an on-off relationship, as with any marriage of convenience trust can be a fragile thing. The two countries wrapped up their 10th round of Defense Consultative Talks (DCT) yesterday, their first chance to kiss and make up since the suspension of military ties by China over the proposed US sale of arms to Taiwan. It was hailed a success by both parties, but experts say there is still a long way to go before military relations reach a level of mutual trust. "Some say China and the US militaries are like a couple stuck in an marriage, one in which they both have to guess what each other is up to behind their backs," said Professor Sun Zhe, director of the center for Sino-US relations at Tsinghua University in Beijing. "But I disagree. If fact, they are nothing like a couple. They still cannot fully trust each other." It has been 30 years since China established military ties with the US and, today, they cooperate extensively on issues such as the Korean Peninsula and climate change. "The Cold War mentality", a commonly used phrase in English and Chinese, still lingers as a clear reminder of the differences between the nations' militaries and ideologies, analysts and netizens say. "The US military not treating China as an enemy? I do not believe it," wrote a netizen tagged Seeing Through One Eye on Sina.com, a popular Web portal, yesterday. "The US military will never like the idea of having a competitor like China."
The relationship between the US and Chinese armed forces has been hampered by a "reality gap", according to Teng Jianqun, a strategy researcher with the China Arms Control and Disarmament Association. "Many thinkers in the US still hold the outdated impressions of China's military development, which has in fact transformed beyond their imagination," he said. But Adam Segal, of the US-based Council on Foreign Relations, said that, although China's behavior may be confusing, it should not be a surprise, and added it had good reason to keep the US in the dark about its intimate plans. "The Chinese see themselves as the weaker power. And they believe that for weaker powers, a certain degree of opaqueness makes a great deal of sense strategically, right?" he told National Public Radio. "You don't want the larger power to know what you do or don't have, or what you are or are not capable of." The latest two-day DCT in Beijing set a new agenda on improving communication and thawing relations at a military level. And although many experts see the talks as helpful, they feel China and the US can still cooperate in many areas as strategic partners even without mutual trust. |
