3:17 pm
the i'm good. i just kind of do welcome to the new news aisha. i'm glad you could join us over the weekend, the navy's of russia and china ended 3 weeks of joint drills and patrols. russia said the exercises in the pacific ocean covered everything from replenishment to supplies, etc. to empty somebody in drills mc rescue training, join us at the drills, want aimed at the code 3rd party that didn't prevent japan, however, from scrambling. fighter jets on friday off, the russian patrol aircraft was seen off the sea of japan and the east china sea. and gentlemen of a more context is ian strong. he's a political scientist at the national university of single and specializes an
3:18 pm
international relations in the asia pacific and chinese, a foreign policy professor strong. in addition to this latest patrol, there was a joint air patrol just last july, over the sea of japan and the east china see in addition to at least 5 military exercises. last, the question is, why are china and russia stepping up with the tree cooperation in the pacific? so with the rush and trying to relationship, one of the things that they're trying to do is to count to what they see as us competition and us pressure. and by having the exercises in it is right in the pacific new us allies, i guess it sends a signal that the, the russians and the chinese come together put pressure on, on washington where washington with things we method for washington. so i guess that's a what a shot across the bow to not a passive push russia to fall in,
3:19 pm
in the ukraine and also not to push the p. c to fall in the, in the pacific. no one is signaling and then the other as if you're ality. and the reason i ask that is because you actually see a scenario, for instance in which russian naval troops come to the aid of chinese ships in the south china sea for example. so the russian naval presents in this part of the world, especially in the south trying to seize by more limited um for them to sustain operations. um, they would need a lot of re supply right now. you know, russia is quite stretched because of its aggression and ukraine. so i guess what we could see more is perhaps some sort of collaboration or assistance in northeast asia, most of the southeast asia. but even then, it would complicate the coffee list for the united states for south korea, for, for a project that japan, and indeed are probably taiwan as well. so, i guess that is the point right, to complicate the calculus for an adversary. but how much of
3:20 pm
a club are they really, a china and russia put together? i mean, given russia strained, naval and land forces as a result of the ukraine will or so in this part of the world, the p i c is, you know, it's almost serious in terms of putting pressure. but the russians, i suppose, have fairly capable naval vessels, submarines that could use put pressure, but i mean, that is really further off right now. what we're seeing a lot more of is the sort of grades on activity by chinese maritime militia. by p. c. coast guard, so right now is all signaling i think for and in the event where you would see actual russian involvement that would pretty be pretty high of the escalation that the so a lot of other things would probably need to happen 1st. um and you know that in that case whether the one ukraine is still ongoing or whether some other
3:21 pm
developments have what we're taking in that's less go talk to support about the kind of joined patrols exercises and drills that you're seeing. i mean, what the scenario of the 2 military is preparing for as so it appears was a bit of range of things, right? that they've been having exercises on land as well. but i suppose it's to show that they can operate together when it comes to the and maritime space, which is very, very important in the pacific. much of the pacific is a maritime theater, as opposed to a land based data. and so to show that they can operate together that they can, um, you know, provide assistance we kind of provide cover for each other as they, uh, conduct operations. i guess that's the real thing that they've been doing. and i'm more than anything else. um, it's really a short false rather than anything that's quite concrete at the moment. i mean, we haven't seen that, you know, truly, you know, very,
3:22 pm
very sophisticated kinds of say, um, uh, anti submarine, all sort of going the kinds of preparations for for wolf. so right now it's not up at that level. i suppose what we're seeing is a scaling up possibly. but more than that, it's really the show of the matches onto saying similar responses from other countries in terms of joint exercises as well. because you have the us sounds good, you have drills for example, starting today. and this talk of new drills between south korea and japan in the us . and we've not even looked at all the joint exercises involving india, the u. s. philippines of japan and other nations as um there's also the japan us australia of joint exercises happening in the south, china. so you know, so, yeah, certainly there's a lot of fostering right now. there's something to the fostering, actually. so on the us side of the us and its allies, the point is deterrence, right? they're trying to signal to the p. c. and, and then also to the, to,
3:23 pm
to russia that should they decide to upset the piece for they decide to change the status quote, you know, actually the costs and the risk will be extremely high. now, for the p. c, in the russian side, i suppose what they are trying to show is that yes, that may be all of this deterrence, but you know, to be able to carry off. it's going to be pretty costly and difficult on the us. and the allied side as well. so what we're seeing is this sort of, as i said, us slow is, are ramping up of activities, which suggest that which is just as a rising tension of the region. rising tensions in the region is the region headed to matter, time conflict, you think so a lot will come down to whether the terence works, if determines works and there is no incentive to escalate. then, you know,
3:24 pm
a lot of this sort of preparation may actually work for a better end, but terence is a delicate game. you could get it wrong. you could over the truck to, you could assure too much and that could lead the target of goods. it hurts to act in ways that you've told it not to. so i guess we're all in some ways betting that loved the signaling is going to be useful in discouraging any adventures. but whether that actually works. i mean in some ways it's a bit relieve, available. thank you so much for all the contacts professor, even john from the national university of single thank so thank you and 0 to some other stories making headlines across asia, south korean president in june. so year old has vowed strong to find that for poor for nation with japan and the united states. if north korea's threats increased, you and was speaking of the cabinet meeting,
