Thats what u wish, but I dont think Russia will agree. Maybe the drill is just around Hainan isl

They will conduct the beachhead exercise, it is not for Hainan.

Get real, it is obviously that Russia now has abandoned a useless pawn.

Why send ships to Shanghai ... if you want to exercise in South China Sea ?

pls translate

I check the official news in the site: Voice of Russia. It still quotes: maneuvers will be held in the East China Sea in late May.

This is old news, April 28.

Russia has changed the idea right now on May 7.

Ours are contradictions among the people，entirely different from ideological clashes between the oppression and the oppressed。

Why send ships to Shanghai ... if you want to exercise in South China Sea ?

Putin is visiting Shanghai at about the same time that the Russian fleet makes the port call。

Having said that，I think the joint exercise is still held in the ECS。

Listen dudes。

Vietnameses are our socialist brothers and sisters

Don't be too hard on them，for they might otherwise be pushed into the arms of the Americans。

USA only takes the democrazy nations with her, so obviously Vietnam will head toward a civil war if getting too close with USA.

The Vietcong leaders all know it.

Chinese fishermen damaged environment by catching large quantity of turtles
cannot accept

Ask that to your all-weather ally, Japan.

 

[Chinese-Dragon]

Well that's what they get for trying to suck up to America, who is Russia's greatest enemy.

When you try to play both sides, then neither one will come and help you.

Russia wanna offer some appeasement for the support we did offer in Ukraine.

Do you think that we should accept this offer?

The Americans could be here today and gone tomorrow。

China will always be where she is today。

 

[navtrek]

ok, you are right.

but if I google “Joint Sea-2014″, then I find this text:

China-Russia Joint Sea-2014 Naval Drill to Be Held on May | Strategic Intelligence News

The “Joint Sea-2014″ exercise in late May along the East China Sea off Shanghai, will mark the 65th birthday of the Chinese navy.

And you are correct it is East China Sea.. there is some error in the article used to start the thread.

Here is another official Russian media source.

MOSCOW, May 7 (RIA Novosti) – The Russian Pacific Fleet and the Chinese navy will conduct a joint large-scale cooperative training exercise scheduled for mid-May, a military spokesman told RIA Novosti on Wednesday.

“In the middle of May, Russian ships will head towards Shanghai, where they are to take part in the large-scale Naval Cooperation-2014 drill with the navy of China’s People’s Liberation Army, to take place in the South China Sea,” said Capt. 1st Rank Roman Martov.

And you are correct it is East China Sea.. there is some error in the article used to start the thread.

So two official sources made the same error? Are you making fun of the Russian media or what?

Other than sorting out the price for energy impasse, China should expect some political support from Russia in return for the backing we provided in Ukraine.

If Russia is more involved in the Pacific, US and its lackeys will have to recalibrate their strategies.

History seems to be on China’s side. Even if they are unwilling, conditions push the two together.

 

[Chinese-Dragon]

The Americans could be here today and gone tomorrow。

China will always be where she is today。

India tried the same, they tried to suck up to both Russia and America at the same time. Then during the 1962 war they called both Russia and America for help, and NEITHER one came.

China on the other hand can play both sides in any situation, because we don't need to call anyone else for help.

It is always good to have a friend as large and powerful as Russia。

But I believe in doing certain things on our own，and achieving/securing territorial integrity is one。

For any strategist worth his salt，freedom of action is of the utter most importance。

China should never ever be dragged into a conflict by a small country。（The US and the Philippines spring to mind）

 

[Kyle Sun]

can you provide any proof from official chinese news?


why?

I mean RU need our support for the mess of Ukraine, so Ru may not take position between the incident of CN and Viet.
