WASHINGTON, AP
The United States said Friday that proposed military exercises between China and Southeast Asian nations could be positive if it is done openly.
Such cooperation between China and the 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations, the State Department said in a statement, "could contribute to better regional understanding of China's intentions in its military modernization process, as well as its military capabilities and doctrine.
"This can, of course, be positive, so long as it is done in an open and transparent manner."
The United States often presses China to more fully explain its large yearly jumps in military spending.
China has recorded double-digit spending increases for its 2.5 million-member military nearly every year since the early 1990s.

LOL, it sounds like Uncle Sams
is nervous about China's secret
gears, and they are trying to use
us as a spies.
Sorry Uncle Sams, we don't
want to know about it, and we
don't care about open or close
millitary exercise.
However, if you really want to
know about China's secret gears,
it gonna cost you 10 billions USD
for each ASEAN member.
fucking barking nonsense!!!
Trust but verify.
No, "trust" is something that does
not required any verification.
Oh come on! China can use their military exercise all they want and it will only expose their military weakness capability in the region! This is the golden opportunity for Uncle SAM to observe how China used their logistic and launching their missile system!
I mean if China can't even invade Taiwan only a few miles from mainland China and what is the point for China to project their military power beyond Taiwan? ahaha
It makes a lot of sense if China wants to show who the top dog in the neigborhood is and make claim to the Sprately Islands which are rich in natural resources!
What is an idiot? Oriental people
doesn't brag. We would preferred
to keep you guys in suspense every
moment that you have.
As for Taiwan, Chinese will have
patient with Chinese. However,
if Taiwan were to claim
independence today, I am certain
that missiles and bombers will
be on their way to stop it.
I wish TAIWAN DECLARE independance and see what mainland CHINA is going to do? i don't think china dare to attack at all, because if they do it will spell the end of china.China will collapse on its knee without a single shot from the world's boycotting....
Well then, just go to Taiwan and
talk them into it and find out the
truth.
what the reason to want some one to call friend or brother if they do not give a f--- about you?
Beat them if chinese dare?
Has a wife that can not sleep with?
abd brag about it? Fool Chinese you must be friend of shihanouk and Hun Xen1
No, actually we want to be friend
with the Chinese. We need an
insurance policy from them because
the US premium is too high and it
aint worthed shit.
