I had a successful visit to China in September, and I am clear-eyed but optimistic about the future of this important military-to-military relationship. As the US seeks stronger defense ties with China and countries throughout the region, we expect and welcome other countries’ efforts to build ties with China and the US alike.
我曾于9月成功访华，我对美中重要军事关系的未来保持着清醒乐观的认识。在美国寻求与中国和区域其他国家加强防御关系的同时，我们期待并欢迎其他国家同时加强与中美两国的关系。
