China will join Russia later this week for its largest-ever naval drills with a foreign
partner, underlining deepening ties between the former cold war rivals
along with Beijing's desire for closer links with regional militaries.
China has long been a key customer for Russian military hardware, but only in
the last decade have their militaries begun taking part in joint exercises.
China's defence ministry said on Tuesday that its navy would send four destroyers, two guided missile frigates and a support ship for the exercises, which start on Friday in the Sea of Japan and
run until 12 July.
The ships departed on Monday from the port of Qingdao, where China's Northern Fleet is based, and headed for the rallying point in Peter the Great Bay near Vladivostok."This marks our navy's single biggest deployment of military force in a China-foreign joint exercise," the ministry said.

Does it occur to anyone besides me that the lines are being drawn?
The Obama administration appears to be creating scapegoats to distract the American people from its own bad behavior
