Gen. Pace said he immediately agreed to study the proposals put forward Friday by Gen. Liang Guanglie, chief of the PLA's General Staff Department.

China raised its military budget by 17.8 per cent this year to about $45-billion (U.S.) -- the biggest jump since 1995.

The spending boost and January's satellite test, in which China became only the third country to destroy an object in space by pulverizing one of its own unused satellites with a missile warhead, heightened the sense of unease in Washington over China's 2.3 million-member armed forces.4 o& r  [2 t$ ~8 h
