China says conducting joint military drills with Russia
==========
China announced that it is conducting joint military drills with Russia along its southern coast. The exercises, called Joint Sea-2024, began in early July and will last until the middle of this month. The drills are taking place in the waters and airspace around Zhanjiang, Guangdong province, and aim to demonstrate the resolve and capabilities of both countries in addressing maritime security threats and preserving global and regional peace and stability. The drills are part of Beijing and Moscow's annual plan for military engagement. China and Russia have strengthened their ties in recent years and have hostile relations with NATO. NATO leaders accused China of enabling Russia's invasion of Ukraine, leading to China condemning the remarks as "irresponsible and provocative." China maintains that it is not a party to the Ukraine conflict but has faced criticism for its political and economic support to Russia. Japan expressed concern over joint China-Russia activities near its territory from a national security perspective.
