🇨🇳🇺🇸 CHINA & US AGREE ON MILITARY CRISIS COMMUNICATION PACT – But Washington Stays Silent

After the Trump-Xi summit, Beijing announced a new military crisis-communication agreement. The White House hasn't confirmed it. The Pentagon hasn't either. Once again, China is leading on stability – while the US hesitates.

🤝 China and the US agreed to pursue a military crisis-communication pact – a memorandum of understanding on "crisis communication and prevention" to be concluded "as soon as possible."

📞 The agreement would build on existing consultation arrangements and senior communication channels – potentially giving commanders another mechanism to manage dangerous encounters.

🛡️ The proposed pact follows the first theatre-level contact in two years – Admiral Samuel Paparo (US Indo-Pacific commander) met General Yang Zhibin (PLA Eastern Theatre Command) in late August.
