U.S. rescinds China's invitation to Rim of the Pacific military drill - UPI.com
UPI reports: "The U.S. Department of Defense Wednesday rescinded China's invitation
to participate in an international maritime exercise due to its actions
in the South China Sea.
Pentagon spokesman Lt. Col. Christopher Logan said the Defense
Department has withdrawn its invitation to the Chinese military to
participate in June's Rim of the Pacific naval exercise alongside about
two dozen other nations. [...] China has been invited to the biannual
military drill since 2014, and the statement said the decision to revoke
China's invitation was an initial response to Beijing's South China Sea
activities."
Comment: Trumps administration started with much optimism about U.S.-China relations. It seems the honeymoon is over.
