U.S. defense secretary says he will visit China


WASHINGTON, Jan 27 (Reuters) - U.S. Defense Secretary William Cohen said on Thursday he will visit China at Peking's invitation and that renewed military ties between the two countries were "on track" after high-level talks this week.

"I was, in fact, invited to return to China. I indicated that I would do so at a mutually convenient time," Cohen told reporters at the Pentagon. China cut military ties with Washington after last May's bombing of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade by U.S. jets.

He acts as if it is a complement to be reinvited. Shows how little he knows. Chinese .gov keep their friends close, and enemies closer.
