[2009] Russia, China plan new joint military exercises
By MARTIN SIEFF, UPI Senior News Analyst
Published: March 26, 2009
WASHINGTON, March 26 (UPI) -- The continuing tensions over Russia's refusal to sell its state-of-the-art land warfare advanced weapons systems to China hasn't interrupted the rhythm of major joint military exercises between the two major land powers on the Eurasian landmass. The latest in the regular, biennial series of exercises between the two nations has been confirmed for this summer.
The next in the now well-established series of exercises called Peace Mission 2009 will be carried out in northeastern China, the Russian Defense Ministry announced March 18, according to a report carried by the RIA Novosti news agency.
The first bilateral Peace Mission maneuvers -- described at the time as counter-terrorism exercises -- were held in Russia and the eastern Chinese province of Shandong in August 2005. As we reported at that time, they were a lot bigger than mere counter-terrorism exercises. Warships, squadrons of combat aircraft and more than 10,000 troops were involved carrying out landings against hypothetically hostile shores. The maneuvers also involved large-scale paratroops drops. The scale and nature of those exercises suggested a trial run for a possible Chinese invasion of Taiwan with Russian support. ..."

Russia, China flex muscles in joint war games
August 17, 2007
CHEBARKUL, Russia (Reuters) - Russia and China staged their biggest joint exercises on Friday but denied this show of military prowess could lead to the formation of a counterweight to NATO.
"Today's exercises are another step towards strengthening the relations between our countries, a step towards strengthening international peace and security, and first and foremost, the security of our peoples," Putin said.
Fighter jets swooped overhead, commandos jumped from helicopters on to rooftops and the boom of artillery shells shook the firing range in Russia's Ural mountains as two of the largest armies in the world were put through their paces.
The exercises take place against a backdrop of mounting rivalry between the West, and Russia and China for influence over Central Asia, a strategic region that has huge oil, gas and mineral resources.
Russia's growing assertiveness is also causing jitters in the West. Putin announced at the firing range that Russia was resuming Soviet-era sorties by its strategic bomber aircraft near NATO airspace.

War Games: Russia, China Grow Alliance
September 23, 2005
In foreign policy its critical to know thine enemy. So American policymakers should be aware that Russia and China are inching closer to identifying a common enemy the United States.
The two would-be superpowers held unprecedented joint military exercises Aug. 18-25. Soothingly named Peace Mission 2005, the drills took place on the Shandong peninsula on the Yellow Sea, and included nearly 10,000 troops. Russian long-range bombers, the army, navy, air force, marine, airborne and logistics units from both countries were also involved.
Moscow and Beijing claim the maneuvers were aimed at combating terrorism, extremism and separatism (the last a veiled reference to Taiwan), but its clear they were an attempt to counter-balance American military might.
Joint war games are a logical outcome of the Sino-Russian Friendship and Cooperation Treaty signed in 2001, and reflect the shared worldview and growing economic ties between the two Eastern Hemisphere giants."
PING! And thank you for the great piece!
My kid got mad at me today because I harped about this and mimicked the Chinese leader! He was disciplined but I’m still losing my nation!
We are creating a new world, a balanced world. A new world order, a multipolar world, Chavez told reporters during a visit to Communist China, one of many. His new world order includes [RUSSIA], China, Iran,... and a significantly weakened United States, he explained.

Ping for later reading BTW thanks for posting this, I run into these Clinton Zombies and need to flatten their egos.
You’re welcome. I thought it was particularly important given what ‘Comrade Obama’ is doing today in terms of US-ChiComs relations.

Your kid knows about Chinagate?? That's pretty impressive. Why was he mad, though? Did he learn a different account of it from some leftist teacher of his?
My kid has to listen to me harp about every subject matter under the sun and he’s sick of it. Usually it’s the very diverse subject matters you hear about every day here at FreeRepublic. He’s upset because I thought he flubbed his final exams (9th grade) but I checked and he’s still over 4.00 GPA and got all A’s. I can’t fault him because his grades didn’t drop. I gave him back his XBox 360 tonight and warned him not to do it again. Basically what I did was mimic the Chinese leader saying how foolish America was stating facts in pidgeon English with a Asian accent. He didn’t dig it and got upset. You know like, “Amerikan velly foolish-—no produce and save, only borrow and consume”. Chinese nation number one-—we nationalistic and China come first-—Amerikan foolish, spend all money to help animal people in middle east and africa” Amerikan nation fat and lazy-—people want welfare” Some Amerikan will make good Chinese slave but most we turn into fertilizer”....
at one time, US trade with China was tied to human rights. Clinton also cut that tie.
Maybe he simply didn't like your mimicking of how Chinese people speak and wasn't really paying attention to what you were saying about the way many there view the US.
Hes upset because I thought he flubbed his final exams (9th grade) but I checked and hes still over 4.00 GPA and got all As. I cant fault him because his grades didnt drop. I gave him back his XBox 360 tonight and warned him not to do it again.
Over 4.0 GPA? Isn't 4.0 as high as it gets? The Chinese are of course extremely strict on their kids and would probably punish them for slipping from a perfect 4.0 GPA. Sounds like your kid is doing pretty darn good in school.

Old tagline... A country that doesn't hang its traitors ends up electing them.
Thanks Mr. Apple. The “laboratories of democracy” have become the stomping grounds of socialists/totalitarians/scumbags/criminals/plunderers and their enablers. Witness Clinton/McAuliffe. BUMP the history/reminders of why we are where we are. Unaccountable bureaucrat from a rogue regime (criminal/socialist) up-cycled and given statist powers to be unleashed on citizens of an American state. One step forward for criminals, two steps back for freedom/individual sovereignty. We pay and pay and pay and our children and grandchildren pay and pay and pay. The lie/looting/deception/destruction continue. The names change, the tactics of totalitarians remain the same.
