Russia and China launched their first-ever joint military exercises on Thursday. Chinese General Liang Guanglie and Russian General Yurii Baluyevskii launched the exercises at a meeting at Russia’s Pacific Fleet headquarters in the Far East port of Vladivostok, with both commanders stressing at a news conference that the drills weren’t intended to be a show of intimidation.
The two nations in the coming week will practice coordinating a joint force that will stage a mock invasion of China’s Shandong peninsula on the Yellow Sea, using air, sea and land forces to simulate a mission stabilizing a third country torn by massive ethnic unrest.
