Reuters: China, U.S. armies agree to framework for dialogue - China Daily

The U.S. and Chinese armies have agreed on a framework for dialogue, and will soon augment a shared code of conduct with guidelines to avert errors or mishaps when their aircraft operate near each other, the China Daily newspaper reported.

Friday's signing of the dialogue pact in Washington comes three months ahead of a planned visit to the United States by Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Tension has been rising in the South China Sea, where China is building artificial islands its neighbours fear could eventually be used as military outposts.
