Chen Bingde, quickly voiced a string of complaints about American military policies<\/strong> that suggested their shared vision remained a distant dream.<\/p>\n<p><strong>General Chen and Adm. Mike Mullen, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, were midway through three days of talks today, following up on a visit to Washington in May by General Che<\/strong>n, the chief of the People\u2019s Liberation Army general staff. Both men are under orders to improve the military relationship, one outcome of a summit last January between President Barack Obama and President Hu Jintao of China.<\/p>\n<p>Monday\u2019s news conference brought some evidence of progress toward that goal. The two sides agreed to hold counter-piracy maneuvers in the Gulf of Aden by year\u2019s end, to hold talks on operational safety in Hawaii and China and to plan exercises in humanitarian relief for 2012. <strong>Such joint operations have been rare in recent years<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><object width=\"500\" height=\"390\"><param name=\"movie\"
