Kristin Huang, SCMP: China, US military ties may be in a downward spiral ‘for a long time’
Analysts say latest tensions, coming on top of the trade war, could make it difficult to get relations between the two militaries back on track
Military relations between China and the United States are expected to remain in a downward spiral for some time, analysts say, as tensions escalate between the world’s two biggest powers.
The assessment came after China denied a request for a US warship to visit Hong Kong next month, summoned US ambassador Terry Branstad to lodge “stern representations” in Beijing, and postponed military talks that had been scheduled to be held this week.
