The Chinese general’s action itself demonstrated the importance and mutual benefits of keeping of communication channel open between China and the U.S. Communication is important between friends, and even more important between adversaries so that there is no misunderstanding and miscalculation. Not sure why China behaved so childish by refusing to talk whenever things are not going well. They think agreeing to talk is a sign of weakness. It’s just the opposite.
Admiral Aquilino did not say what the Chinese are claiming he said. The Chinese are twisting his remarks to suit their propaganda purposes.
He stated that we are willing to talk, but that we will take whatever actions necessary to protect and defend free access to the South China Sea.
He also stated that he has two missions: first, to prevent conflict with China if possible; second, if conflict occurs, to defend Taiwan and to win!

Now you understand why the CCP government does not allow schools to teach English, just to deceive Chinese who can not understand English!

“中国正在有意识地调动其国家权力的各种形式，来改变和推翻目前的国际秩序。”
当地时间 23 日，美军印度洋-太平洋司令部司令约翰∙阿奎利诺 （John C. Aquilino） 在美中关系全国委员会 （NCUSCR） 的一次公开活动上声称，美中军事对话对地区和平至关重要，他多次请求与中方交谈却未得到回应。
据《南华早报》报导，他的演讲，遭到了来自观众席中中国常驻联合国代表团军参团团长尹忠良少将的当面反驳。
“对我来说，沟通非常重要，我们需要通过讨论来确保地区和平。正因如此，我一再请求与中国军方进行交谈，但尚未获批。”据美国《国家评论》杂志报导，阿奎利诺在演讲中称，美中建立常态化军事沟通是负责任地管控竞争、降低风险、避免误判的关键。
同时，他还补充道，美军印太司令部的任务是避免冲突，而非挑衅。美国追求和平、稳定与繁荣，美中可以在遵守国际规范下和平共处，双方之间的军事冲突并非不可避免，并重申了美国对台政策不变，“不寻求台湾独立”。
他也公然指责中方借由南海军事化来践踏国际规范。
“老实说，我并不同意你刚才在很多议题上表达的看法。”在提问环节时，尹忠良当即驳斥了阿奎利诺的相关言论。对于尹忠良的出席，阿奎利诺事先并不知情。
在长约 3 分钟的反驳中，尹忠良再次简要阐明了中国在亚太地区安全合作中的基本政策，即始终致力于维护亚太地区的和平与稳定，坚持走和平发展道路，坚持合作共赢的开放战略，坚持在和平共处 5 项原则基础上，同所有国家发展友好合作。
“我几乎同意你所说的一切，我也很乐意看到这一点得到证明。”在听完尹忠良的讲话后，阿奎利诺狠有礼貌地说。
事实上，就在阿奎利诺此番演讲的几小时之前，他刚刚结束与巴布亚新几内亚高层官员的对话。
据《路透社》报导，当地时间 22 日，美国国务卿布林肯代替总统拜登，对巴布亚新几内亚进行访问，阿奎利诺也随他一同前往巴纽，随后两国签署了关于防务和海事合作的两项协议。布林肯称，防务合作协议将提升太平洋岛国的军事能力，使美国军队更容易与巴纽部队一起训练。
自 2022 年 4 月，中国与所罗门群岛正式签署双边安全合作框架协议后，美国在太平洋地区的外交动作频率也急速上升。
日前，美国总统拜登在日本广岛参加七国集团峰会 ( G7 ) 期间就曾对记者说，美国与中国之间的关系应该会“在很短时间内缓和”。
公开资料显示，美中关系全国委员会成立于 1966 年，是一个非盈利性的、教育性的非政府组织，旨在促进美国和中国人民之间的相互了解。
