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.

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.
