US army chief of staff meets top China officials

(16 Aug 2016) The US Army chief of staff told Chinese officials during a visit on Tuesday that China should not feel threatened by American ally South Korea's decision to deploy a powerful US missile defence system.
General Mark A. Milley met with his Chinese counterpart, General Li Zuocheng, and other senior People's Liberation Army leaders amid China's strong protests about the decision to base the US Terminal High Altitude Area Defence, or THAAD, system south of the South Korean capital, Seoul.
Milley reiterated the American position that the defence system was intended to destroy potential North Korean missiles and not to track missiles inside China.
