(US chief of naval operations, Adm Jonathan W Greenert, on a four-day visit to China)

My comment: The only thing new is the admiral stepped in the aircraft carrier; nothing else is informative (such as what he thought). The only interesting is this paragraph only (so there is no need to read the text):

“中方邀请美国记者参观了驱逐舰 ‘海口舰，’《圣迭戈联合论坛报》(The San Diego Union-Tribune)记者珍妮特·斯蒂尔(Jeanette Steele)采访了中国军官和海军士兵，讨论他们的事业与期望。

For this, see next.

“ABOARD THE CHINESE DESTROYER HAIKOU -- The young Chinese naval officers were proud to show off their ship. ‘Whatever the US Navy has, we have,’ one officer said.

“In the delicate dance of diplomacy, Japan and China are avoiding any direct interaction on the seas off Hawaii. The chief of staff for Japan’s naval forces, Adm Katsutoshi Kawano, said the Hawaii exercises are at least a chance for the two rivals to work on a multinational stage.

“The relationship remains uneven. Chinese helicopters land on American warships, but the workhorse US Navy MH-60S aircraft are not landing on the Chinese destroyer or frigate, where the flight decks are too small.

My comment:
(a) This report does not say much. However, this is the first American report, to the best of my knowledge, on a visit to a Chinese Warship.
