The Pentagon's top officer spoke with his Chinese counterpart, restoring dialogue between the U.S. and Chinese militaries after a 16-month rupture. This marks a significant thaw in relations after China broke off military-to-military communication more than a year ago. The resumption of high-level military contacts is seen as a sign of progress in the overall U.S.-China relations, potentially reducing the risk of direct military friction in the South China Sea and the East China Sea.
