The Chinese army will go to Russia to participate in the "Oriental-20122" exercise, but Chinese officials emphasize that this has nothing to do with the current international and regional situation.

According to the "Ministry of Defense" WeChat public account on Wednesday (August 17), it was announced that the Chinese People's Liberation Army will recently draw some troops to Russia to participate in the "Oriental -2022" exercise.India, Belarus, Tajikistan, Mongolia and other countries will also participate.

The Chinese Ministry of National Defense said that the Chinese military participated in the exercise based on the annual cooperation plan of the Chinese and Russian armies and the consensus between the two sides.Playing the strategic cooperation level of all parties and enhancing the ability to respond to various security threats has nothing to do with the current international and regional situation.

The Chinese Ministry of Defense did not disclose the time for military exercises in a statement.

According to Reuters, Russia announced last month that it was planned to hold the "Oriental-20122" exercise from August 30th to September 5th, but Moscow did not disclose the participating countries at the time.China will go to Russia after 2018.
