US Coast Guard ties smooth sailing with China

SHANGHAI: Even at times when they can't see eye to eye on economic and trade issues, China and the United States can still find common ground when it comes to law enforcement on the sea.

Visiting Vice Admiral Charles Wurster, commander of the Pacific Area and Defense Force West of US Coast Guard, was optimistic yesterday when discussing expanding exchanges and relations with China.

"The purpose of my visit is to reinforce the areas that we already began cooperation," Wurster said.
