"We stand in solidarity and support of China's position on this issue – not to recognize the decision of this court… This is not a political position, but purely legal. It lies in the fact that any arbitration proceedings should be initiated by the disputing parties, while the arbitration court should hear the arguments and positions of the disputing parties. As you know, China did not address the Hague arbitration and no one listened to its position there. How can you recognize these decisions as fair? We support China's position on this issue," Putin stressed.

Very strong position and must have hurt those little countries that believe they can micro-bully China by pitting one great power against the other.

US can be utilized this way,

Russia cannot be utilized.

China had refuted to join in arbitration in Hagge, because China has known well before that China will been a loser. China doesn't have evidences to approve "China nine dashed" claim in SCS, historically.

What is wrong with you ?

The drill is in China EZZ in Quangdong Province, not in East Vietnam sea. Its permitted by international laws. Russia is important counterpart to weapon supply of Vietnam only, nothing more.

We can do , same same navy exercise with Japan navy or with USA navy in East Vietnam Sea too.

Let Mr. President, China's most strategic ally, refute you.

The "Joint Sea 2016" drill will go ahead between Sept. 12 and 19 in the South China Sea, off Guangdong.

Wang Hai, Chinese chief director of the exercise and deputy commander of the Chinese Navy, said that this year marks the 20th anniversary of the two sides establishing strategic cooperation.

The two sides have conducted six joint navy drills in five years, and the drill will enhance the abilities of both sides to counter common security threats, said Wang at the welcoming ceremony.

Chinese Navy spokesperson Liang Yang said the drill will feature the highest level of standardization, combat and digitalization in recent China-Russia drills.

Participants will undertake joint air defense, anti-submarine operations, landing, island-seizing, search and rescue, and weapon use.

The Russian Navy will bring three surface ships, two supply ships, two helicopters, 96 marines, as well as amphibious armored equipment.

Most of the Chinese forces come from the Nanhai Fleet under the People's Liberation Army Navy, with some from the Beihai Fleet and Donghai Fleet.

A total of 10 ships from the Chinese Navy, including destroyers, frigates, landing ships, supply ships and submarines, will take part in the drill, as well as 11 fixed-wing aircraft, eight helicopters and 160 marines, and amphibious armored equipment.

According to a Chinese Defense Ministry spokesperson in July, the drill will not target a third party.

Liang said the joint navy drill will feature in-depth coordination between the navies of the two countries.

The drill will make use of a China-Russia joint command information system for the first time, Liang said, adding that the system is capable of sending, receiving and sharing information among all command posts and combat units at all levels.p The paperwork and command processes during the drill will be standardized and optimized to make organizational work more effective, the spokesperson said.

Liang said the "deep coordination at a high level" between the two countries' navies will further deepen practical cooperation, promote friendship and enhance mutual trust between the two navies.

Let Mr. President, China's most strategic ally, refute you.

Former China's ally in cold war is USA, and Mr. Presedent said that:

"In an interview with Singapore’s Strait Times on the Philippines’ lawsuit against China, Obama said the tribunal’s ruling delivered a clear and legally binding decision on maritime claims in the East Sea as they relate to China and the Philippines, and that ruling should be respected. "

Ah bro let them. Let the Chinese stage exercise after exercise If they think can promote the peaceful rise image of China. People outside China think of a different image of them: the image of a hooligan. A man loving his muscles thinking highly of himself believes can intimidate other people.

But hey there is a saying in Germany:

Ist der Ruf erst ruiniert, lebt es sich ganz ungeniert.

China stolen Paracel Islands of Vietnam in cold war 1974 after normalisation diplomacy with USA 1972, and stolen with force our Reefs in Spratly in Sino Vietnam war 1988.

in reality China was not our ally, China is untrusted partner.
