China Suspends Military Ties With U.S. 11:10 p.m. May 09, 1999 Eastern BEIJING (Reuters) - China has suspended military exchanges with the United States in the wake of NATO's mistaken bombing of the Chinese embassy in Yugoslavia. ''China has decided to postpone the high-level military contacts with the United States,'' Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhu Bangzao said in a statement released by the official Xinhua news agency. ''China has decided to postpone its consultations with the United States in the fields of proliferation prevention, arms control and international security,'' the statement said. It came after two days of violent protests outside the United States and British embassies in Beijing in the wake of the strike, which killed four people and injured more than 20. China and the United States had taken tentative steps toward building stronger military ties after decades of mistrust. Fore Beijing, that included rebuilding the image of China's military after the 1989 army crackdown on protesters in Tiananmen Square. The exchanges, which included high-level visits and a U.S. program to improve the level of Chinese officer training, peaked last October when both sides said they had increased the range of common ground.
