China's Vice President Xi Jinping is warning the United States against a military build-up in Asia, ahead of his arrival in Washington Monday for a four-day visit. Xi, who is expected to take charge of China's ruling Communist Party later this year, made the remark in a written response to questions submitted by The Washington Post newspaper. He said Asian countries long for peace and development, and do not want to see the United States scale up military deployments and strengthen military alliances in the region. U.S. President Barack Obama has announced plans to "pivot" U.S. military power toward Asia even as it cuts back in other regions. The two leaders are scheduled to meet at the White House Tuesday.
