I dare to say if there was no Sino-Soviet split, Soviet would still exist and China might not be today world second economy socio-capitalist...China will certainly not let communist brothers down...and Eastern European communist would not fallen like domino into Western favor.

The split turned out well eventually i have to say, after SU was no more the US had no use of China so the arms embargo was the best option to defeat China after Democracy Rally failed in Beijing. What the US never calculated was that Russia and China joining hands again. The rest is history

I wish Arabs learned from you guys.

Yeah that military exercise is really going to put fire in someone's a$$

China sure can help Arabs to fix this problem, China might be the newbie to play divide and conquer but we certainly know how to unit other nations to common interest but we don't want to let American to think that we're forming alliance against them,a strong Arab united nation mean US is over in middle east.

The last time China unite Africans nations to for a summit has shocked US up until now that has prompt US to create an African command...LOL.

The biggest American mistake is that they think that Chinese will be submissive like Japanese, that we will to comply to their demands and do as they said , when they realized that was not work out as they expected (恼羞成怒) and here we're today.

Buddy that is not the problem with Arabs, the problem is that they "do not want to unite".
Even Pakistan can unite them, if they were willing to do it.
The mess they are in is created by themselves, yes USA did all that, but they let it happen.

The Chinese Defense Ministry announced Thursday that China and Russia will conduct joint naval exercises in the disputed South China Sea in September despite a recent international tribunal ruling that rejected Beijing’s claims to the strategic waterway.

Defense Ministry spokesman Senior Col. Yang Yujun called the drills “routine” at a news conference and vowed they were not directed at any countries.

The planned exercises will be the first joint drills in the South China Sea between China and Russia. The two nations, who were once communist rivals, have forged a partnership aimed at countering pressure from the U.S. and its allies over their military activities.

“This is a routine exercise between the two armed forces, aimed at strengthening the developing China-Russia strategic cooperative partnership,” Yang said. “The exercise is not directed against third parties.”

The joint drills will also be the first scheduled in the South China Sea since the Permanent Court of Arbitration’s July 12 ruling in The Hague, Netherlands, that nullified China’s territorial and maritime claims to virtually the entire waterway. The case was brought by the Philippines over China’s claims and dealt a huge blow to Beijing.

China has refused to abide by what it considers an invalid and illegitimate ruling.

Moscow and Beijing, both of which signed a massive natural gas deal in 2014 as part of a growing energy partnership, held joint naval exercises in the East China Sea for the first time in 2014, and conducted their first ever drills in European waters in May 2015. Later that year, both countries carried out exercises in the Sea of Japan.

China’s Defense Ministry also confirmed Thursday that it would move forward with anti-missile system tests in response to South Korea’s decision to employ an advanced U.S. anti-missile system.

The U.S. and South Korea announced last month that the two countries would deploy a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense unit, known as the THAAD system. China cautioned the system would destabilize security in the region.

“To develop suitable capabilities for missile defense is necessary for China to maintain its national security,” Defense Ministry spokesman Yang Yujun said. “It will improve the self-defense capability of China and is not targeting any specific country and will not affect international strategic stability.”

We're not targeting 3th countries , next we will do in Indian Ocean and caribbean sea.

[shhh]

Why they don't want to be unite? that is illogic

China, Russia ‘semi-alliance’ to launch drills in S.China Sea

China, Russia stand together in face of a more assertive US

The Chinese Ministry of Defense announced Thursday that China and Russia will launch a joint military drill in the South China Sea in September, a move observers say shows the two countries have formed a "semi-alliance" in the face of an increasingly assertive US.

"This is a routine drill between two military forces aimed at strengthening the developing China-Russia strategic cooperative partnership," said Yang Yujun, spokesperson for the Ministry of National Defense during a regular monthly press conference in Beijing on Thursday.

Even though Yang said the exercise is not directed against third parties, experts consider that the choice of location and the timing show the drill is aimed specifically at countering the increasing US military presence in the Asia-Pacific.

Shi Yinhong, director of the Center for American Studies at the Renmin University of China, told the Global Times that "due to the great pressure Russia receives from the West in Europe, Moscow is becoming more motivated to having deeper strategic cooperation with Beijing at this moment. The drill is an obvious example in the military area."

Shi believes there is no denying that the US is the major strategic rival of both China and Russia. Under pressure from the US, China and Russia are moving their bilateral relationship to a semi-alliance level, Shi said.

Reinforce global stability

China and Russia are both permanent members of the UN Security Council with veto powers. The two countries have cooperated on many international issues in the past, including the Syria crisis and nuclear issue in both Iran and North Korea.

On June 26, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a joint statement in Beijing which aims to reinforce global strategic stability. Experts believe that the military drill in the South China Sea in September is an action based on that statement.

The joint statement makes clear that China and Russia want strategic stability. As both countries believe the US is encroaching on the geopolitical balance in the region, it is only natural for the two nations to stand together, Shi said.

Song Zhongping, a Beijing-based military expert, said the drill's location also shows a strong signal to countries that are trying to get involved in the South China Sea issue militarily.

In 2015, the China-Russia joint military drill was in the Sea of Japan; in 2014, in the East China Sea.

"It's very clear that both countries will pick a hot spot region to launch a drill … this year China and Russia both agreed that to have the drill in the South China Sea has a specific political aim," Song said

Timing coincidental

In September 2016, the G20 Summit will be held in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, while the ASEAN Summit will also take place in Vientiane Laos, but experts stressed that the timing of the drill has nothing to do with these events.

Rather, said Song, it is based on the season and weather conditions rather than diplomatic reasons. In September, conditions in the South China Sea are ideal for the exercises.

Shi believes that "Chinese and Russian military forces will avoid the G20 Summit due to the sensitiveness of the timing."

On the specific military aims of the drill, Song considers that the two navies will focus on traditional naval battle craft, such as anti-submarine and anti-aircraft missions, but the drill will be bigger in scale than last year's.

Infrastructure on South China Sea islands might also be used during the drill, Song said.

"The Yongxing Island airport in the Xisha Islands can be used for military aircraft, but others in the Nansha Islands are not ready yet," he noted.
