BEIJING (Reuters) - China called on the United States on Tuesday to restrain ally Japan and chided another U.S. ally, the Philippines, at the end of talks between American and Chinese defence chiefs that showed the strain of regional territorial disputes on Sino-U.S. ties.
The forceful comments by Chinese Defence Minister Chang Wanquan came just a day after U.S. Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel toured China's sole aircraft carrier, in a rare opening by Beijing to a potent symbol of its military ambitions.
