[Chinese-Dragon]

China-Russia-Pakistan cooperation is always the dream.

U.S - China - Russia, making the SCS dispute more interesting. Each doing their own business in SCS：

1. China building artificial islands (claim to SCS)
2. U.S show to Vietnam/ Philippines (against China)
3. Russia show to American (with China)

Top3 powers playing game in SCS, welcome to the earth ~!

The dream of China-Pak-Russia is about to come true and for all, this is not a power projection or pointed to anyone but it is the same practice that every country adopts around the world with friendly neighbors and countries. The drastic change in geopolitics and regional security threats, it is the need of time to come with solutions and arrangements that no threat may ever dare to bully. As per another prospective, it is always good to learn from each other for the growth of own as it is the first rule, Self Benefits. Everything is possible in diplomacy yet needs a good practice and approach with all information about the friend and foe.

These drills are very well timed and surely are not pointed out to any nation. Military drills are not new to anyone around especially in times where the threat is trying to reach at the doorsteps of the one.

China-Russia-Pakistan cooperation is always the dream.

In old days everyone could become a Mandrin. From every social class....it was pure merit.
One of exames was to be a master Go player.

A global game of Go before you good eyes, my friend.

Enjoy and connect the dots.

I know you can.

The Chinese Defense Ministry announced Thursday that China and Russia will conduct joint naval exercises in the disputed South China Sea in September despite a recent international tribunal ruling that rejected Beijing’s claims to the strategic waterway.

Defense Ministry spokesman Senior Col. Yang Yujun called the drills “routine” at a news conference and vowed they were not directed at any countries.

The planned exercises will be the first joint drills in the South China Sea between China and Russia. The two nations, who were once communist rivals, have forged a partnership aimed at countering pressure from the U.S. and its allies over their military activities.

“This is a routine exercise between the two armed forces, aimed at strengthening the developing China-Russia strategic cooperative partnership,” Yang said. “The exercise is not directed against third parties.”

The joint drills will also be the first scheduled in the South China Sea since the Permanent Court of Arbitration’s July 12 ruling in The Hague, Netherlands, that nullified China’s territorial and maritime claims to virtually the entire waterway. The case was brought by the Philippines over China’s claims and dealt a huge blow to Beijing.

China has refused to abide by what it considers an invalid and illegitimate ruling.

Moscow and Beijing, both of which signed a massive natural gas deal in 2014 as part of a growing energy partnership, held joint naval exercises in the East China Sea for the first time in 2014, and conducted their first ever drills in European waters in May 2015. Later that year, both countries carried out exercises in the Sea of Japan.

China’s Defense Ministry also confirmed Thursday that it would move forward with anti-missile system tests in response to South Korea’s decision to employ an advanced U.S. anti-missile system.

The U.S. and South Korea announced last month that the two countries would deploy a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense unit, known as the THAAD system. China cautioned the system would destabilize security in the region.

“To develop suitable capabilities for missile defense is necessary for China to maintain its national security,” Defense Ministry spokesman Yang Yujun said. “It will improve the self-defense capability of China and is not targeting any specific country and will not affect international strategic stability.”

We're not targeting 3th countries , next we will do in Indian Ocean and caribbean sea.

It feels so good when someone gives a middle finger to the so called super power.
It feels even better when they are our best friend.

Way to go China!

China and Russia learn to reciprocate and defense other's interest instead of sit idle and keep watching US to play divide and conquer game, it's not China's interest to see Russia down nor Russia's interest to see China's down. China should help Russia on European side and Russia should help China on SCS, both can help each other to deter against Japan-US military alliance...only future will tell how far they will go together.

The best formula for China Russia long last relation is not sit idle and watch the other side fall

I propose Pakistan-China-Russia to do military exercise in Indian Ocean..

Broken up at that period of time was out of necessity, the relation was bad, China didn't want to be seen at second class communist...but Now we stand on our feet, a new Sino-Russia relation is base on equal, common interest and mutual respect which not like Japan that is subordinate to US.

I dare to say if there was no Sino-Soviet split, Soviet would still exist and China might not be today world second economy socio-capitalist...China will certainly not let communist brothers down...and Eastern European communist would not fallen like domino into Western favor.

The pass is the pass, China and Russia today realized that their need each other more than before, EuroAsia is massive continental land that contain most population of the world, Both can complement each other, Russia has the resource, we have skill labor and money to invest and there is huge market out there.

who you mean frandz in the north.. Afghanistan?
