World China Russia Xi jinping Vladimir Putin


China has welcomed Russian troops to hold joint strategic drills for the first
time next week on the territory of the People's Republic as part of growing ties
between Beijing and Moscow.

Russian personnel were met with a warm reception over the weekend as Chinese
People's Liberation Army Lieutenant General Liu Xiaowu, deputy commander of the
Western Theater Command and commanding officer of Chinese forces in the upcoming
exercise, presented a bouquet of flowers to members of the Russian military
delegation visiting ahead of the Zapad-Interaction, or West-Interaction, drills
set to play out from August 9 to 13.

Liu "remarked that in the context of the big changes and pandemic, this is the
first joint strategic exercise participated by Russian troops in China,"
according to a readout published Monday by the Chinese Defense Ministry.



The ministry also noted that this is the fourth consecutive such training held
by the Russian and Chinese militaries after the Vostok (East) 2018, Tsentr
(Center) 2019 and Kavkaz (Caucasus) 2020 exercises, all of which were held
across different regions of Russia.

The latest Zapad-Interaction training will mostly take place near the city of
Qingtongxia in northwestern China's Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region and takes
place as the U.S. pulls the last of its troops from neighboring Afghanistan, a
nation in which both China and Russia seek to invest in long-term stability.

The drills are set to involve some 10,000 personnel and various types of
aircraft, weaponry, equipment and vehicles from both countries, whose forces
"will set up a joint command, make plans and conduct training in mixed combat
groups, so as to improve the joint anti-terrorism capabilities of the troops."

Chinese forces in the upcoming Zapad-Interaction (West-Interaction) 2021
exercise offers a bouquet to his counterpart in the Russian Armed Forces on July
31. The two militaries have conducted an increasing number of joint drills,
including three previous strategic maneuvers entitled Vostok (East) 2018, Tsentr
(Center) 2019 and Kavkaz (Caucasus) 2020, all in Russia. Chinese Ministry of
National Defense

As news of the ceremony emerged Monday, Russian Deputy Defense Minister
Colonel-General Alexander Fomin took part in a virtual conference dedicated to
the 94th anniversary of the establishment of the People's Liberation Army of
China.

Fomin "noted that Russian-Chinese military cooperation is characterized by high
dynamics of development, consistent expansion of areas of interaction and a
great intensity of contacts," according to the Russian Defense Ministry.

He also "drew attention to the fact that the two countries regularly hold joint
combat training events, and that China is one of the most active participants in
the International Army Games."

These annual games are also set to begin later this month, running from August
22 to September 4, and present yet another opportunity for Chinese and Russian
troops to interact.

The Russian Defense Ministry reported on Sunday that a separate contingent of
Russian military personnel flew along with equipment to China to take part in
three International Army Games competitions to be held in Korla of China's
northwestern Xinjiang Autonomous Province. Other events will be held in Russia,
where Chinese troops recently arrived with China with various materiel.

Also next month, China and Russia will train together alongside India,
Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan as part of the
Shanghai Cooperation Organization's Peace Mission 2021 drills.



The heightened level of military collaboration between Beijing and Moscow in the
defense realm was also discussed Saturday by People's Liberation Army Major
General Kui Yanwei, who serves as China's defense attache at the country's
embassy in Russia and also was present for Monday's videoconference.

In an article published in the Russian Defense Ministry's official Krasnaya
Zvezda (The Red Star) newspaper, Kui praised the direction of Sino-Russian
relations under the leadership of Presidents Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin.

Through their guidance, "the Sino-Russian comprehensive partnership and
strategic interaction in the new era has withstood the test of a pandemic and
unprecedented changes in a century, reaching the highest level in all its
history in all areas," Kui wrote.

"The China-Russia tandem has become an unshakable guarantee of world justice and
a progressive force that contributes to world development and prosperity, firmly
protecting world security and stability," he wrote.

He also took note that July marked the 20th anniversary of the Sino-Russian
Treaty of Good-Neighborliness and Friendly Cooperation, which Xi and Putin
renewed during a virtual meeting in late June. The two heads of state also
produced a lengthy joint statement in which they discussed a relationship "based
on equality, deep mutual trust, commitment to international law, support in
defending each other's core interests, the principles of sovereignty and
territorial integrity."



"While not being a military and political alliance, such as those formed during
the Cold War, the Russian-Chinese relations exceed this form of interstate
interaction," the statement said, "they are not opportunistic, are free of
ideologization, involve comprehensive consideration of the partner's interests
and non-interference in each other's internal affairs, they are self-sufficient
and not directed against third countries, they display international relations
of a new type."

The United States considers China and Russia to be its top two great power
competitors and has feuded with both nations on a wide range of geopolitical
issues including human rights, territorial disputes and cybersecurity, for all
of which Washington charges Beijing and Moscow with regular abuses.

President Joe Biden has set out to pursue a relationship with China that has
"cooperative," "competitive" and "confrontational" elements, while he sought to
establish "a predictable and stable relationship" with Russia.
