The US Navy’s top officer to go to China
By: Geoff Ziezulewicz
Chief of Naval Operations Adm. John Richardson will head to China this weekend for a three-day visit with the military leaders of the rising power.
Richardson will sit down with members of the Central Military Commission as well as Vice Adm. Shen Jinlong, the commander of the People’s Liberation Army (Navy).
He will stop in Beijing and Nanjing, with a focus on a “results-oriented, risk reduction†dialogue, according to a Navy release.
Richardson should have plenty to discuss with his counterparts because his visit comes during a time of rising tensions for both countries.
