Chinese Defense Minister Liang Guanglie met his Mexican counterpart Guillermo Galvan Galvan in Mexico City Wednesday to promote bilateral military cooperation.
Liang, also China's state councilor, said that Mexico is China's good friend and partner in the Latin American region, adding China attaches great importance to developing ties with Mexico.
China is willing to boost its military ties with Mexico and deepen bilateral military exchanges and cooperation in various fields, he said.
Liang thanked the Mexican government for its support to China on the issues of Taiwan and Tibet.
Galvan said China is a great country, and Mexico has high expectations for boosting its military ties with China. The two sides can strengthen exchanges to expand military cooperation, the minister added.
Liang also met Mexico's Navy Minister Mariano Francisco Sainez Mendoza, and both sides agreed to promote military exchanges and cooperation.
Liang arrived here Tuesday for a four-day visit.
A top Chinese general said his country was ready to bolster military ties with the United States but warned that Washington's arms sales to Taiwan remained a stumbling block.
In a week-long visit to the United States, People's Liberation Army Chief of General Staff Chen Bingde struck a mostly conciliatory tone, saying his country had no plans to take on the US military in the Pacific.

18. All warfare is based on deception.
19. Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable;
when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we
are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away;
when far away, we must make him believe we are near.
20. Hold out baits to entice the enemy. Feign disorder,
and crush him.
21. If he is secure at all points, be prepared for him.
If he is in superior strength, evade him.
22. If your opponent is of choleric temper, seek to
irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant.
23. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest.
If his forces are united, separate them.
24. Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where
you are not expected.
25. These military devices, leading to victory,
must not be divulged beforehand.

Good for China in the hypocrisy arena... Now, they need to practice what they preach in the South China sea and with some of their Southern neighbors.

And under what Canadian foreign policy information gave you the idea that we would even consider such a thing?

Well then we are talking about WW3 and all gloves are off, a full scale invasion of North America would lead to a full realease of nuclear weapons against China, something neither side with any sense would want to see, espeically since strategically speaking China's current nuclear arsenal is no match to the U.S.
