Top US General Mark Milley has held a phone call with his Chinese counterpart Li Zuocheng, emphasising the need to “responsibly manage competition” between Washington and Beijing, SIA cites the Pentagon's statement.

The call on Thursday comes amid growing tensions between the United States and China over regional and global issues, including posture on Taiwan and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

“Gen. Milley discussed the need to responsibly manage competition and maintain open lines of communication,” a spokesman for Milley said in a statement.

“Gen. Milley underscored the importance of the People’s Liberation Army engaging in substantive dialogue on improving crisis communications and reducing strategic risk. The call also included a productive discussion of a number of regional and global security issues.”

The statement added that Milley, who serves as the chair of the joint chiefs of staff, “regularly communicates” with chiefs of defence across the world, including with China.
