BEIJING (Reuters) - China on Wednesday denied that its military officers would meet Taiwanese counterparts in Hawaii this summer, but suggested the two sides could begin low-key defense contacts via retired personnel or academics. Chinese state media reported last month that officers would meet at August's Transnational Security Cooperation forum organized by the U.S. Asia-Pacific Center for Security Studies, an institute under the U.S. Defense Department, in Hawaii. div class="feedflare" a href="http://feeds.reuters.com/~ff/reuters/worldNews?a=npgptzTGgnY:AMIFmRsIWNM:yIl2AUoC8zA" img src="http://feeds2.feedburner.com/~ff/reuters/worldNews?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0" /img /a a href="http://feeds.reuters.com/~ff/reuters/worldNews?a=npgptzTGgnY:AMIFmRsIWNM:F7zBnMyn0Lo" img src="http://feeds2.feedburner.com/~ff/reuters/worldNews?i=npgptzTGgnY:AMIFmRsIWNM:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0" /img /a a href="http://feeds.reuters.com/~ff/reuters/worldNews?a=npgptzTGgnY:AMIFmRsIWNM:V_sGLiPBpWU" img src="http://feeds2.feedburner.com/~ff/reuters/worldNews?i=npgptzTGgnY:AMIFmRsIWNM:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0" /img /a /div img src="http://feeds2.feedburner.com/~r/reuters/worldNews/~4/npgptzTGgnY" height="1" width="1"/
