Military dialoguewith US to resume

The mainland and the US will resume their military talks with a defense policy dialogue in Beijing on Feb 27-28, both countries' officials have said.

The dialogue between the countries' senior military officers was postponed in November after the former George W. Bush administration announced in October to sell $6.5 billion worth of arms to Taiwan despite the mainland's protest.

The dialogue will be informal, Defense Ministry spokesman Hu Changming said yesterday.
