US Defense Secretary Mark Esper hopes to visit China before the end of the year to discuss issues of mutual interest, Reuters reported.
“Before the year is out, I hope to visit the PRC for the first time as secretary in order to enhance cooperation on areas of common interest, establish the systems necessary for crisis communications and reinforce our intentions to openly compete in the international system,” Esper said, using an acronym for the People’s Republic of China.
