Secretary of Defense United States , Chuck Hagel , has met Tuesday in Beijing with Chinese Defense Minister Chang Wanquan , to try to forge a close relationship between the armies of the two powers and ease tensions in an area of world in which there are missing. Hence maritime territorial disputes in the seas of Asia have held , largely meeting . Hagel has warned that China has no right to unilaterally establish an area of air defense identification ( ADIZ , its acronym in English ) about a group of islands that are disputed Beijing and Tokyo , and pointed out that the United States will protect Japan in case of conflict with China , as it requires the security treaty it has with Tokyo.

Chang says his country will not give the first step for " disturbing the peace " with Japan and you want to resolve any dispute through diplomatic channels , but added that China is willing to use his army if necessary to defend its territory and has warned that the U.S. must " remain vigilant " against the actions of Japan and " permissive and not understanding."
The Chinese government announced last November the creation of an area air defense identification on the islands called Senkaku by Tokyo and Diaoyu by Beijing, which are administered by Japan . Requires all aircraft flying over the area to identify and deliver their route plans or will face a possible " emergency defensive measures ." Washington and Tokyo have refused to meet the requirement , but Beijing has reacted so far.
" Every nation has the right to establish an air defense area , but has no right to do so unilaterally, without consultation or collaboration . It adds tension, misunderstandings and could , if necessary , cause a dangerous conflict , "said Hagel , reports Associated Press.
The meeting is part of efforts of the two countries strengthen their ties after years of frosty relations , because , first , the military buildup of China, cyber attacks against U.S. institutions and enterprises and Chinese territorial claims in Asia, and secondly, the rotation of U.S. policy toward Asia has led Washington to increase its armed presence in the region , with the corresponding Chinese anger.
During his meeting with Chang, Hagel has also addressed the issue of cyber-espionage and cyber warfare , and has asked Beijing for greater transparency , as this reduces " the risk of misunderstanding and misperception leading to a miscalculation ."
" Our vision is a future in which our armies can work together on a range of challenges, including humanitarian missions and disaster relief . However, to achieve this goal we must be honest in the areas in which we disagree . "
The two countries have agreed to conduct a joint military maneuvers medical
Hagel said the two countries have agreed to conduct a joint military medical maneuvers, although no date set . They have also established a Security Dialogue between Asia - Pacific Assistant Secretary of Defense for the region and the director of the Foreign Affairs Office of the Chinese Ministry of National Defense.
The attempt to find common ground is reflected in the way that Hagel began Monday , the three-day trip to China with a visit to Liaoning Chinese aircraft carrier in the naval base of Yuchi in Qingdao ( Shandong Province ) . It is the first foreign visitor who has been authorized by the People's Liberation Army (PLA ) to enter the military ship, symbol of the ascending power of China and the PLA 's ambition to project its naval power.
Hagel came to China from Japan , where he issued a warning to Beijing against any attempt to resolve territorial differences with its neighbors unilaterally. And for that I made a clear reference to Russia's incursion in Ukraine. "You can not go around redefining borders, violating the territorial integrity and sovereignty of nations by force , coercion and intimidation, whether small islands in the Pacific or large nations in Europe ," said Tokyo Sunday , which added that the Chinese leadership would consider the need to " respect their neighbors" and assume its " great responsibilities " , given its status as a " great power" .
Washington has in recent months hardened its position on Beijing's attitude to the disputes in the East China Sea and South China Sea , after some Asian countries have accused the government of Beijing of using intimidation tactics . Hagel Tokyo promised to send two new boats equipped with missiles to Japan and reaffirmed the U.S. commitment to the defense of this country. The two ships will join the five systems equipped with Aegis missile defense existing in the area, as part of U.S. President Barack Obama, tilted its policy toward the Asia -Pacific region plan. Hagel 's announcement came after the United States deployed one second early warning radar in Japan and the existence of plans to send Global Hawk surveillance drones , among others. Although Hagel insisted that sending warships is intended to counter possible North Korean threats , it is difficult to separate the movement of tensions between China and its Asian neighbors.

The visit of U.S. Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel , Liaoning Chinese aircraft carrier , on Monday , came at the request of the United States, and Beijing agreed amid climate of rapprochement that want to create the two countries. It was about two hours, during which they could see the medical services and spaces where sailors live and the flight control center and the bridge , and walked around the flight deck .
The ship, built during the Soviet era , based in Ukraine , was acquired by Beijing , which modernized it and put into service in 2012 , marking a milestone in China's naval history as it became the first carrier in the country . China plans a total fleet of four vessels of this type. The second , similar to Liaoning, is under construction.
The Liaoning finished earlier this year its sea trials in Southern China, where tuned combat systems and conducted exercises in navigation group. Plans to launch a network of 30 aircraft from next year's air wing .
Unlike American aircraft carriers, no nuclear propulsion. Its scope is smaller and has no catapult system but has an inclined ramp for takeoff . Its symbolism , however , is strong, and that projects the image of China as a rising military power with global reach , and could be used in case of conflict with the smaller countries having maritime territorial disputes, such as the Philippines and Vietnam. In addition to aircraft carriers , Beijing is building submarines, anti-ship missiles and other military equipment to modernize and strengthen its naval forces in a region dominated so far by the United States only .
