Chinese navy entered the Sea of Okhotsk in the northern
part of Japan for the first time. Chinese media reported that China and Russia
began joint drills from Monday off the Russian port of Vladivostok. A five-day
joint drill will be conducted on the northern part of the Sea of Okhotsk in
Hokkaido Prefecture, Japan from Friday. The first joint military exercise
between China and Russia near Japan is gathering attentions, while the
strategic platforms of the U.S. military are being deployed on the Korean
Peninsula in response to the North’s nuclear and missile provocations.
Chinese naval vessels entered the East Sea of South Korea
for the Joint Sea 2017 drill last Saturday. Chinese cutting edge fleets
consisted of missile destroyer Shijiazhuang, missile frigate Daqing,
replenishment ship Dongpinghu participated in the exercise. Russian and Chinese
navy will conduct joint drills involving submarine rescue, antiaircraft and
antisubmarine.
The Sea of Okhotsk is located near the Kuril Islands,
where the territory dispute between Russia and Japan took place. Some argued
that the joint drill aimed at Japan as the exercise began on Sept. 18, the date
of Manchurian Incident, which China also believes the Sino-Japanese War began
on the day. It appears that the two countries attempt to show their close
relations against the U.S., Japan and South Korea as tension on the Korean
Peninsula has skyrocketed.
