General: China trip is step toward openness
Gen. Paul V. Hester, the U.S. Pacific Air Forces commander, told reporters during a conference call that he was able to visit a Chinese Su-27 fighter base during his visit in July.
Hester said this showed progress compared with previous U.S. military visits, noting Gen. Peter Pace, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was only able to see an Su-27 that was kept at a nonoperational Chinese base.
