US lawmaker warns of military 'misunderstanding' risk with ChinaBy James EDGARBeijing (AFP) Sept 23, 2025The leader of a US congressional delegation to China warned Tuesday of the "risk of a misunderstanding" between the two countries' militaries as advances in defence technology move at breakneck speed. Adam Smith, the most senior Democrat on Washington's Armed Services Committee, told journalists in Beijing that China needs to talk more about its military with other global powers "for basic de-confliction". Asked about the TikTok issue, Smith said: "My understanding is that I don't think that has been 100 percent resolved." The delegation will also meet China's National People's Congress Chairman Zhao Leji and Foreign Minister Wang Yi.
