Coming 23rd Commander. After dealing with China many times, Keating became a "China Pass".

Since the day he was nominated commander of Pacific Command, Keating has stepped up his studies in China to make up for the "China Lesson." He and his wife have been working hard to use chopsticks. Seeing his funny use of chopsticks, his friends laughed. Keating said seriously: "If you want to enjoy Chinese food, you must learn to use chopsticks; you want to talk to Chinese people. To deal with and make the other person feel kind, start with chopsticks. "

Keating also pre-selected officers from the North Command who understand Chinese and understand Chinese culture to bring to the Pacific Command, and used personal relations to search for "China Connect" and to get information about Chinese soldiers from them. In May 2007, Keating visited China for the first time less than two months after taking office. When Keating showed up at the press conference, he said "hello" to Chinese and foreign reporters here in Chinese.
