China and Russia implemented a joint air strategic cruise on Tuesday (June 6) in Japan and the East China Sea. This is the sixth time the two countries have implemented joint cruise since 2019.
According to the announcement issued by the Chinese Ministry of Defense's official website on Tuesday, this cruise is part of the annual cooperation plan of the China -Russia Army.
After the first time in 2019, China and Russia organized a combination of aircraft cruise in Northeast Asia.Three, fourth, and fifth joint air strategic cruise.
Reuters reports that China's increasingly enhanced military operations in Northeast Asia have caused concerns about neighboring countries and the United States.
When China-Russia held a joint air cruise last November, South Korea took off the fighter jet after the Russian Air Temple-95MC strategic bomber and the Chinese People's Liberation Army bombed-6K bomber entered its air defense identification zone.The Japanese Air Self -Defense Force also sent fighters to respond urgently.
During the air cruise of China and Russia in May last year, the fighters of China and Russia were close to Japan. At that time, the four countries in Japan, the United States, India, and Australia were holding a four -way dialogue in Tokyo.
In order to cope with the increasingly frequent military operations of China and Russia in the Indo -Pacific region, neighboring countries in the United States and China have also begun to strengthen military existence in the region.From June 1st to 7th, the coast guards in the United States, Japan and the Philippines held the first three -sided naval exercise in the South China Sea.
However, China and the United States have also frequently launched a saliva war on military encounters of the two armies in the near future.The Sino -US warships almost collided in the Taiwan Strait last weekend. The US Navy pointed out that the Chinese warships were "unsafe sailing". The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that the Chinese army's actions were necessary measures to deal with provocations related to the country, and they were completely safe.
