A senior U.S. military official warned his Chinese counterpart against Beijing's "dangerous" moves in the South China Sea during the first talks of their kind between the commanders.

Washington and Beijing remain at odds on issues from trade to the status of self-ruled Taiwan and China's increasingly assertive approach in disputed maritime regions.

A senior Chinese military official warned the United States to stop "collusion" with Taiwan while top White House aide Jake Sullivan stressed the importance of stability in the tense Strait in a rare one-on-one meeting Thursday, both sides said.

The U.S. military said Tuesday that a Chinese fighter jet flew aggressively close to a U.S. reconnaissance aircraft over the South China Sea, forcing the American pilot to fly through the turbulent wake.

Taiwan accused the Chinese army of simulating an attack on its main island on Aug. 6, as Beijing continued its retaliation for US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's Taipei visit.

Relations between the two superpowers nosedived following Pelosi's trip to China's self-ruled neighbour -- which it claims as its territory -- prompting calls from the UN for an urgent de-escalation of tensions.

According to the world media, China allegedly launched 11 ballistic missiles in waters near Taiwan, the country's defense ministry announced. Also, information emerged that he raised fighter jets in response to military exercises by the Chinese army.

The maneuvers are also being carried out in response to the "collusion between Taiwan and the United States," said Spokesperson for the Chinese Ministry of National Defense (MND), Tan Kefei.

As announced, Prime Minister of Serbia, Ana Brnabi, and the Ambassador of the People's Republic of China to Serbia, Chen Bo, will welcome the new contingent of Chinese vaccines.
There were half a million doses of Chinese company vaccines on the plane.

The new contingent of vaccines was welcomed by the Minister of Defense, Nebojsa Stefanovic, who especially thanked for the 200.000 doses donated by the Chinese army.

A contract with the Bulgarian company SAMEL-90 AD for the acquisition of combat vehicles for Bulgarian task forces will be signed at the Ministry of Defense today.

Vucic will, in addition to bilateral issues, talk with Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin primarily about Kosovo and Metohija.
