Washington should reflect on its words and actions if it is sincere about wanting to maintain stability in Asia

US Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel started his first visit to China since taking office on Monday, expressing the wish that his visit will help promote China-US military exchanges and stabilize relations between the two powers. If Washington is sincere in wanting the two nations and their militaries to work better together, China welcomes the gesture.

However, Hagel made remarks in Japan before coming to China that suggest otherwise. He implicitly accused Chinese of redefining boundaries, adding "coercion and intimidation is a very deadly thing that leads only to conflict. All nations, all people deserve respect no matter how large or how small." He said he will talk to China about having respect for its neighbors.
