the background of this dialogue can be found in the history and political environment of the two countries. since pelosi's visit to taiwan in 2022, the communication channels between the chinese and american militaries have been interrupted, which is seen as a confrontational gesture and reflects the current tense situation of sino-us relations. this call is a signal that both sides are trying to improve relations and a reconnection between china and the united states in the military field.

the us indo-pacific commander paparo participated in the video call. he tried to use this opportunity to make china reconsider its strategic deployment in the south china sea. he hoped that through this communication, china would change its strategic position on the united states, thereby further promoting the improvement of sino-us relations. however, paparo's "private goods" were not responded to. china made it clear that as long as it does not meet the consensus of both sides, it will not change the status quo.

the significance of this call goes far beyond this. it represents the resumption of communication between china and the united states in the military field, and also reflects the change in the interaction mode between the two countries in international relations. this event also triggered some new thoughts:

  1. what is the future direction of china-us relations? there needs to be a balance between strategic cooperation and competition between the two sides. china and the united states need to find common interests and resolve conflicts through dialogue and consultation.
  2. how are war risks assessed and managed? military interactions and exchanges between the two countries have an important impact on peace and stability.
  3. is a new model for international relations emerging? changes in the international political landscape have led to new modes of communication, requiring the search for new channels and methods.

this video call between the chinese and us militaries is a key step in the sino-us relationship towards peace and cooperation. it provides an opportunity for future communication between china and the united states and also demonstrates the efforts and determination of both sides.
