Gen. Xu Caihou, vice chairman of China's Central Military Commission, is being under the spotlight when he visits the United States from Oct. 24 to Nov. 3.
He is the first senior Chinese military leader to visit the country since Barack Obama assumed the presidency in January.
The high-profile trip is also the most important event in the China-U.S. military relationship this year, officials said.
An essential backdrop for this visit is the military relationship has regained momentum since Chinese President Hu Jintao and President Obama reached a consensus in April in London to improve and enhance bilateral military ties.
Xu's visit and other recent positive developments send out a signal that China-U.S. military ties are enjoying opportunities for new development despite challenges still in hand, analysts said.
