WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. and Chinese defense officials are meeting for the first time in nearly two years to discuss unsafe and aggressive ship and aircraft incidents between the two militaries in the Pacific region. The gathering in Hawaii restarts a dialogue that Beijing abruptly ended in a dispute involving Taiwan. It comes as Washington and Beijing work to expand communications between the two world powers and ease escalating tensions.
