The joint naval exercise includes submarines and surface vessels from both Russia and China, according to a Monday press release from the Chinese Ministry of National Defense. After the exercise, the Chinese and Russian naval assets will join together for a \u201cjoint maritime patrol,\u201d according to a Sunday press release.<\/p>\n

The Chinese forces included two missile destroyers, \u201cKaifeng\u201d and \u201cAnsha,\u201d the missile frigate \u201cWuhu,\u201d the comprehensive supply ship \u201cKekexilihu,\u201d the submarine rescue ship \u201cYangchenghu,\u201d and one unnamed submarine, according to a second Chinese Ministry of National Defense press release on Sunday.

Meanwhile, the Russian assets in the exercise included the Guards cruiser \u201cVaryag,\u201d the corvette \u201cRezkiy,\u201d the diesel-electric submarine \u201cUfa,\u201d and the rescue vessel \u201cIgor Belousov,\u201d Russian state-run news agency RIA Novosti reported Sunday. The exercise will take place from July 6 to 13, according to the outlet.<\/p>\n

\u201cChina and Russia are showing that they will continue relatively frequent joint military exercises,\u201d Lyle Goldstein, the director of Asia engagement at Defense Priorities, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. \u201cBoth sides have benefited from this ongoing cooperation that has been underway for about two decades. I believe they are projecting strength, but also consistency of resolve and additionally restraint too.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cChina and Russia have always adhered to the principle of non-alliance, non-confrontation, and non-targeting of any third party in developing their bilateral and military-to-military relations. Exercise Joint Sea is an institutionalized cooperation program between the Chinese and Russian navies,\u201d a spokesperson from the Chinese Embassy in Washington told the DCNF. \u201cSince its inception in 2012, the exercise has been held over 10 times and has become a key platform for China-Russia military cooperation. This exercise is aimed at jointly addressing security challenges and safeguarding regional peace and stability, and it does not target any third party. We hope relevant parties will view defense cooperation between China and Russia objectively and rationally, and stop spreading groundless speculation and smears.\u201d<\/p>\n

The White House, the Russian Embassy in Washington, the U.S. 7th Fleet and Taiwan\u2019s TECRO office in Washington did not respond to a request for comment. The Pentagon and U.S. Indo-Pacific Command declined to comment.<\/p>\n

The State Department could not provide a comment in time for publication.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would suggest that these drills are a reaction to larger drills that are often undertaken by the US and its allies,\u201d Goldstein told the DCNF. \u201cFor instance, the RIMPAC drills that will take place shortly in Hawaii are many times larger than this China-Russia joint naval exercise. It is notable that the China-Russia drills will have a submarine rescue component. It suggests that China and Russia continue to work closely in submarine development, including doctrine. Both Chinese and Russian navies prioritize undersea warfare and thus are naturally both eager to improve submarine rescue practices.\u201d<\/p>\n

The exercise will take place in three phases: force assembly, harbor-based planning and at-sea operations, according to the Monday press release from the Chinese Ministry of National Defense. The force assembly was completed on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The proposed \u201cjoint maritime patrol\u201d after the exercise will be conducted \u201cin relevant areas of the Pacific Ocean,\u201d according to a Sunday Chinese Ministry of National Defense press release. Currently, it remains unclear where this patrol will take place.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor China, there is the opportunity to gather more lessons from Russia\u2019s navy concerning the conflict in the Black Sea, for example, concerning drone operations against warships,\u201d Goldstein told the DCNF. \u201cAs to Russia, there is the opportunity to operate with China\u2019s ever more cutting-edge warships, so there is the chance to meaningfully understand the Chinese Navy\u2019s more advanced systems, sensors, and weapons in order to aid doctrinal development.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ukraine has repeatedly battered Russia\u2019s Black Sea Fleet since the start of the Russo-Ukrainian War, causing significant damage and losses to Russian naval assets.<\/p>\n

The Ukrainian military sank the guided-missile cruiser \u201cMoskva,\u201d flagship of Russia\u2019s Black Sea fleet, on April 14, 2022, The Associated\u00a0Press reported<\/span>. Other notable damages and losses to the Russian navy from the war include the Alligator-class landing ship \u201cSaratov,\u201d two Karakurt-class missile corvettes \u201cAskold\u201d and \u201cTsiklon\u201d and minesweeper Valentin Pikul.<\/p>\n

This is not the first instance of joint military training between the Russians and the Chinese in recent years.<\/p>\n

China\u2019s armed forces trained 200 Russian military personnel in the use of drones late in 2025, Reuters reported on May 19, 2026, citing three anonymous European intelligence agencies and documents. The training was approved by a document signed by senior Russian and Chinese officers and occurred in Beijing and Nanjing, Reuters reported.<\/p>\n

Russian forces were also trained on radiological, chemical and biological protection at a military base in Beijing in November 2025, Reuters reported on July 1. The training was personally approved by Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to the outlet.<\/p>\n

The joint training exercises between Russia and China are occurring as Putin grows closer to North Korean President Kim Jong Un, forming a love triangle in the region that could grow into a powerful military entente.<\/p>\n

Over 10,000 North Korean troops are fighting for Russia in the Russo-Ukrainian war as of early 2026, the Kyiv Independent reported. The State Department\u00a0first confirmed a North Korean presence on the battlefield in 2024. (RELATED: There\u2019s One Country Winning Big In Ukraine War)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Yellow Sea is located between South Korea, North Korea and China. It is located north of the East China Sea and Taiwan Strait, where the Chinese People\u2019s Liberation Army Navy drills escalated in June.<\/p>\n

Chinese military assets plagued the area on June 2, 3, 4 and 5, according to multiple X posts from Taiwan\u2019s Defense Ministry. A total of 79 People\u2019s Liberation Army aircraft sorties were spotted by Taiwan\u2019s Defense Ministry.<\/p>\n

The aerial encroachment peaked on June 3\u00a0with 32 Chinese aircraft sorties in one day, as \u201c25 out of 32 sorties crossed the median line and entered Taiwan\u2019s northern, central, southwestern and eastern part ADIZ [Air Defense Identification Zone],\u201d according to the X post.<\/p>\n

Goldstein told the DCNF that this exercise is unlikely to be a preparation for a larger regional war in Asia, given how busy Russia is in the Russo-Ukrainian War.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Kremlin has its hands full managing the war with Ukraine,\u201d Goldstein told the DCNF. \u201cIt\u2019s true that Russian and Chinese strategists occasionally discuss what they consider to be a joint threat emanating from a rearming Japan. But I do not think that either Moscow or Beijing are seeking military conflict with Japan, so I expect their approach to be moderate and restrained, including in the course of this quite commonplace naval drill.\u201d<\/p>\n
