China-U.S. Military Ties Grow as Countries Eye Each Other at Sea - Bloomberg

China's official People's Daily newspaper lambasted the U.S. when it led the most recent RIMPAC naval drill, the Pacific Ocean military simulation held every other year. The 22-nation exercise reflected Washington's bid to "contain the military rise of another country," it said.

Next year, Chinese ships will join the Rim of the Pacific exercise for the first time. During a visit to the Pentagon last month, Foreign Minister Wang Yi described military ties as a "bright spot" in the U.S.-China relationship.
