Chinese soldiers arrive in Hawaii for disaster drills with US counterparts

Chinese soldiers arrived in Hawaii on Tuesday to take part in disaster relief exercises along with their US counterparts - the first time soldiers from China's People Liberation Army would have drilled on US territory.

Speaking to the press last Tuesday, Admiral Samuel Locklear, commander of the U.S. Pacific Command said,
"These types of exercises give us a good place to start and to kind of get into the rhythm of understanding and trusting each other,"

"I think it'll be a great exercise."
