'New phase' for Sino-US relationship (3)

Military interaction

While looking ahead to opportunities, the White House adviser also urged the nations to tackle a few challenges, including increasing their military interaction and strengthening economic ties.

"A deeper US-China military-to-military dialogue is central to addressing many of the sources of insecurity and potential competition between us," Donilon said. "We need open and reliable channels to address perceptions and tensions about our respective activities in the short term and about our long-term presence and posture in the western Pacific."

Donilon also cited cybersecurity as a "growing challenge" the two countries must address.

"Economies as large as the US and China have a tremendous shared stake in ensuring that the Internet remains open, interoperable, secure, reliable and stable," he said.

"Both countries face risks when it comes to protecting personal data and communications, financial transactions, critical infrastructure, or the intellectual property and trade secrets that are so vital to innovation and economic growth."

In February, private US Internet-security firm Mandiant issued a report accusing a secret Chinese military unit in Shanghai of being behind years of cyberattacks against US companies — an accusation that China has strongly denied.

Hua said China is vulnerable in terms of cybersecurity and is one of the countries that has been attacked most.

Cheng Guangjin in Beijing contributed to this story.
