America's top military officer toured military bases on China's east coast Tuesday, on the third day of a high-profile visit aimed at improving military cooperation.

Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, visited an air base in Shandong province and was to continue later to a base in Zhejiang province. Xinhua news agency said he attended an air show at the Shandong base.

During his visit, Mullen, a former Navy jet pilot, watched an aerial display by two Russian-designed SU-27 fighter jets -- considered a match for any other combat aircraft.

Mullen says China is not a rising military power -- it has already risen. He says that military might carries great responsibilities and the need for more openness.

He hopes this trip will bring the China and the United States closer.

General Chen Bingde, speaking alongside Mullen, said recent U.S. exercises with the Philippines and Vietnam are “extremely inappropriate” at a time when China is embroiled in tense territorial disputes with both countries. He later said U.S. spy planes are flying within 25 kilometers of China's borders. He urged the United States to consider the feelings of the Chinese people.

Chen also said the U.S. is spending too much on its military and, asked if, given the effects of the financial crisis over the past few years, that was “putting too much pressure” on American taxpayers.

Chen told Xinhua news agency that apart from the South China Sea disputes, the two had discussed cyber security, China's military development and the attitude of some U.S. politicians toward China.

Mullen's visit to China is the first by a U.S. military chief of staff since 2007. He is returning a visit by Chen to the United States in May.

Mullen said after his arrival in Beijing Sunday that he is worried that China's disputes with the Philippines and Vietnam could spin out of control. The countries have competing claims to parts of the South China Sea believed to be rich in oil and gas.
