Milley calls with Chinese counterpart 'were not secret': US officials
Fox News
The calls that Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley had with his Chinese counterpart “were not secret,” U.S. officials told Fox News, maintaining that they were coordinated with multiple high level officials within the Pentagon.
The book alleges that Milley made two secret phone calls, both to his Chinese counterpart, Gen. Li Zuocheng of the People’s Liberation Army. The book alleges that the phone calls took place prior to the 2020 presidential election on Oct. 30, 2020, and two days after the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, on Jan. 8, 2021.
The book claims Milley contacted Li after he had reviewed intelligence that suggested Chinese officials believed the United States was planning an attack on China amid military exercises in the South China Sea.
