China, Russia navies to hold drills off China coast
The annual drills will include reconnaissance, air and missile defence, and surface-strike exercises, the Defence Ministry said.
- On Monday, China and Russia will begin Joint Sea-2026 naval exercises in waters and airspace off Qingdao, followed by maritime patrols in the Pacific Ocean, Beijing's Defence Ministry announced on Sunday.
- Since 2012, Beijing and Moscow have held these annual Joint Sea exercises, a partnership strengthened by shared opposition to a global order dominated by Washington.
- Russian Pacific Fleet vessels arrived in Qingdao, while China's Northern Theatre Command deployed two destroyers, a frigate, a submarine, and support ships for reconnaissance, air and missile defence, and surface-strike exercises.
- Roughly two months after Russian President Vladimir Putin visited China, he described bilateral relations as reaching an "unprecedentedly high level," while Chinese President Xi Jinping hailed the partnership as "unyielding."
- Western governments view this military partnership with suspicion as Russia's war on Ukraine continues; although Beijing insists it is neutral, many Western allies believe it has provided support to Moscow's war effort.
