CRS – U.S.-China Military Contacts: Issues for Congress

U.S.-China Military Contacts:  Issues for Congress, Shirley A. Kan, Specialist in Asian Security Affairs. November 20, 2013.

“U.S. leaders have applied military contacts as one tool and point of leverage in the broader policy toward the People’s Republic of China (PRC). The first part of this CRS Report discusses policy issues regarding such military-to-military (mil-to-mil) contacts. The second part provides a record of such contacts since 1993, when the United States resumed exchanges after suspending them in response to the Tiananmen Crackdown in 1989. Congress has exercised important oversight.”
