it's, it's, it's, it's, it's a bit difficult because a, whenever filipino see issues in the south, china sea it, that is the point against china. i the same time when we think about, i'm changing the perception of filipinos or mitzy south decisions about china. we're talking about generations here so he can definitely lay out the groundwork for miss a chinese off our to sort of expand in the philippines. it may not happen like in this generation. it may happen. you know, 10 years 20 years from now. oh, i and there's, of course, a lot of interesting in washington, and also australia as to how marcus will, will conduct affairs beyond the philippines borders. there are questions about whether he can travel to the u. s. without being arrested because of the outstanding legal matters connected to the assets of his family. do you think washington will wanting gage with them and how much does his election me think complicate us efforts to counter china in the region? um, so the, i think the united states wrote definitely engage mark us. i mean, he's going to be the president and i don't think you c

i'm territorial disputes, china has territorial claims in the south sign a she -- south china sea. certain plea the ongoing claims -- certainly the ongoing claims to the south china sea will be an issue. host: ted has been waiting a while in miami, florida. caller: could you tell me a little bit of taiwan's history and has it ever been a territory and a part of china and if china invades taiwan, will japan help defend it? thank you. guest: basically it comes from during the mile area of china -- the mau era in china and study it own independent government, independent from the communist government of china. what has happened is most countries in the world, the exception of 14 countries, acknowledge china to be the china that represents all china, including taiwan. this becomes a tremendous challenge because officially the united states does not recognize taiwan as a country. for instance, there is no taiwanese embassy in washington. taiwan's interests are represented by eight representative office. so there is this really complicated issue of being able to use the right language and

well, i think the example you cited over the south china sea marine town dispute confirms what i said earlier that the chinese government thinks that we would what it saying is about the south china sea piece reasonable. and the south pole create is the i she is taking side and being unreasonable and therefore they do not accept and it will not accept it. what they do is against international law. all right, thank you so much for sharing of perspective, steve stang. i'm fighters and begin a fast so i have killed around 50 people during an attack in the eastern region. the group were shot dead while trying to flee a blockade that had been set up in majority because foster had been hit by frequent attacks by on group since 2015 in that time, more than 2000 people have been killed. nearly 2000000 displaced, senegal presidents is declared 3 days of national morning after 11 newborn babies died in the hospital fire. blaze broke out in c one east of the capital dachau. the cities may as, as a short circuit, caused the blaze and the return to unit to quickly spread the death of pregnant wome

what is china doing holding military exercise in the long disputed south china sea while president biden is visiting south korea and japan? what is president she's a point? >> think we have seen over the past couple of weeks china mounting these aggressive military exercises in the south china sea which china has been militarizing for years now they are flooding the zone at the not-so-subtle message the united states and to present biden particular the china considers this particular see to be part of their territory. and they are the ones who can exercise and dominance over that region. the united states of course disputes that permit set her own naval warships patrolling to the south china sea. but make no mistake in china through those exercises to the regular incursions in taiwan's airspace. there make it clear point from their point of view that taiwan is part of china and it's only a matter of time before china makes that official. arthel: and have kim jong-un he has intensified missile launch is to be preparing for a seventh underground nuclear test president biden said he is prep

in east china sea, and south china sea and the japan united states closely cooperate on responding to china related issues. including human rights. also, we affirm that our two countries basic position on taiwan remains to be unchanged. and underscored the importance of peace and stability of taiwan straits. which is an indispensable element for peace and prosperity of international community and called for peaceful resolution of the issue. odprk sharing the situation concern of a nuclear and missile issues including the launch of icbm. japan and the united states and japan u.s. to cooperate ech more closely was affirmed. toward immediate resolution i reiterated my request to cooperation. president biden extended his strong support. after this, president biden will be meeting with family members of the abductees. at a time when the regional security environment is becoming more severe, with president biden we reaffirmed the need to do quickly reenforce deterrence and response capability of japan u.s. alliances. i stated my determination to fundamentally reenforce japan's defense capab

this is china, sea territory dispute in the south china sea 3rd part of this. so you have all these flash voids and therefore anything could could happen if the tensions are not managed carefully. so therefore, i do think a lot of countries in us in including the philippines are very wary of this strategic competition. because in the and small states like the philippines and its neighbors in asi on, are going to be victims in this chest game. and, oh, what exactly can you do on this from because i am for your heard present guidance. our latest announcement that the, the united states will intervene to defend taiwan militarily. and even though there are various interpretations of that of that statement, i'm sure it was taken with a lot of apprehension in your region, especially considering that the chinese navy, as we know, is larger than the american navy in those 2 navies come to class how far do you think it may go and how it may influence you? rem? yes. remember of all, darcy and countries only the philippine shares a maritime boundary with taiwan. so if a f

uh country to the territory of the south china sea. about transferring it to international arbitration. and when this repeat was delivered. it was handed down to me in favor of china until the cake did not insist. uh, no way to enforce this decision. e, especially since you teach the chances. uh sharp china's negative reaction to its execution was not, but in the salon way, on the contrary search. uh, seeking agreement with china and some kind of cooperation with it, primarily in the infrastructural development of the philippines, but i must say that this line ultimately did not give the desired result, and uh, moreover, uh, because i tried to accompany the line. we have a rapprochement with china with some distancing of the united states, up to the cancellation of the agreement that was concluded between the us and the philippines after the evacuation. uh, military military bass e the us with the philippines agreement here is the so -called visiting forces in fact. this is an agreement that the united states receives, under certain con

, the, it of, before the russia plane conflict, the flash point in southeast asia, in, in the south china sea and the east china c. as, as always been there, i can distinctly remember that the, the threat was in the korean peninsula in taiwan, in the east china territorial. this is china, c territory dispute in the south china sea. 3rd part of this. so you have all these flash voids and therefore anything could could happen if the tensions are not managed carefully. so therefore, i do think a lot of countries in us, ian, including the philippines are very wary of this strategic competition. because in the and small states like the philippines and its neighbors in africa are going to be victims in this chest game. and, oh, what exactly can you do on this from? because i'm for your heard present guidance. our latest announcement that the, the united states will intervene to defend taiwan militarily. and even though there are various interpretations of that of that statement, i'm sure it was taken with a lot of apprehension in your region, especially considering that the chinese navy, as we know

well, did it before the russia king conflict, the flashpoint in southeast asia, in, in the south china sea and the east china c. as, as always been there, i can distinctly remember that the, the threat was in, in the korean peninsula, in taiwan, in the east china territorial. this is china, c territory dispute in the south china sea. 3rd part of this. so you have all these flash points and therefore on anything could, could happen if the tensions are not managed carefully. so therefore, i do think a lot of countries in us, in including the philippines are very wary of this strategic competition. because in the and small states like the philippines and its neighbors in our psion are going to be victims in this chest game. but, oh, what exactly can you do on this from? because i'm for your heard present guidance. our latest announcement that the united states will intervene to defend taiwan militarily. and even though there are various interpretations of that of that statement, i'm sure it was taken with a lot of apprehension in your region, especially considering that the chinese navy, as w

think of that is our area to operate to control. china feels the same way, i think for about the south china sea and other parts of the, you know, they, they are going to, demi china states going to if you think about it, you know, are we going to go in somebody's backyard and conduct a full scale global war, are we going to do that? i mean, because if we're planning to do that, that's one thing. but if we're just talking, then i think the status quo is china is in charge of their well, karen crept closely retired, you as opposed to 10, colonel. thank you very much. feel take on those joint exercises between russia and china. the u. s. is pushing russia to announce a technical default house after washington bar can banks. now moscow says a default is not on the cards. however, stress, it has the cash to pay investors and is simply been stopped from fulfilling his obligations. well, earlier my colleague, you know, neil spoke more on this with autism rod gusty f. but the united states actually has done now is by revoking this license, that means russia will no longer be able to pay in dollars. it'

so like his predecessor rodrigo to 30 am in the issue of territorial dispute with china in the south china sea. he is likely to push for a multi lateral approach. and that will be in china's favor because china's already in negotiations with others, how these asian nations claimants, to the south china jar the parts of the south china sea. and that the bar and the pushing for multilateral approach, a bilateral approach would we converse. and then of course, he's also indicated that he supports due today's drugs war on drugs, which is very controversial and is being investigated for human rights abuses, vomit. that's foreign. st. louis live for us from manila, thanks so much for the update. so it had on al jazeera, french and german leaders meet in berlin. what they say is the key to a united europe in the wake of the ukraine. a coral reef faces destruction. how rising sea water and the expanding desert is causing concern in synagogue. ah, the journey has begun the faithful world copies on its way to catherine book. your travel package today when it's when you get in china and a little bit in j

china is holding military exercises in the disputed south china sea. for the possibility that north korea could launch a missile or nuclear test. i'm joined now by ellen kim. she's the deputy director of the korea chair at the center for strategic and international studies. people might have thought north korea would be distracted by the health crisis with covid than missile launches?— health crisis with covid than missile launches? yes, but so far north korea _ missile launches? yes, but so far north korea has— missile launches? yes, but so far north korea has not _ missile launches? yes, but so far north korea has not carried - missile launches? yes, but so far north korea has not carried out l north korea has not carried out any missile tests, which is good, but it could happen at any time. north korea has a tendency to turn to provocation whenever there is a sign of domestic instability. the country going through a major health crisis, so the leaders might have a strong incentive to do a weapons test to divert public attention from the health crisi

does the warren ukraine impact china's plans in the south china sea in towards taiwan at all? does that have implications? thank you. allow me to make a 1st point. i think, ever since 1945, the us troops, i've never left japan. in reality, the u. s. troops are still an occupying force in japan. i hope japan will focus on peace and development and will eventually regain its full sovereignty rather than being following the u. s. leadership in the world. secondly, the ukranian war has its own logic. it is untrue to say that the international community is against russia in this war. as a matter of fact, you are only talking about 30 countries also oppose the economic sanctions against the russia, and they are changing in the way they do the sanctions. the overwhelming majority of the countries in the world are much imposing sanctions against russia. and i hope the united states will realize that china is not an enemy of the united states . right. and the chinese people are not enemies of the united state of it. so don't bark at the wrong tree when you want to figure out which coun

has also been increasing its military spending and conducting naval exercises in the disputed south china sea. where china has warned the u. s. president not to underestimate its resolve on taiwan. it was in response to joe biden, suggesting a military intervention in the event of any invasion you didn't want to get involved in the ukraine conflict militarily. for obvious reasons. are you willing to get involved militarily to defend taiwan if it comes to that? yes, you are. as a commitment, we made a recommend we may, we are not look, here's a situation. we agree with one china policy. we signed on to it and all the attendance agreements made from there. but the idea that that it can be taken by force just taken by force, is just not just not appropriate. or what rub mcbride jones of live now from tokyo, rob. so given this renewed u. s. commitment to asia, particularly on regional security. how threatened this china likes to feel about how this is all playing out? yeah, i think with these comments from joe biden, that certainly has up to the anti, it's really, i did a zest to the proceedings

the future of taiwan and the future of the unresolved territorial issues in both the east china sea and the south china sea and in a different context on the sino-indian border. so are these reconcilable well in the basic question of logic? no. but what is manageable and what i think is therefore doable is a series of mutual understandings. perhaps reached to internally and diplomatically about what constitutes the red lines in the mind of each government in each system, which cannot be crossed unless you want to risk a moving across that trip wire into the real risk crisis conflict and war. and that can only be done with a level of what i describe as kissingerie and clarity between the two sides. as to what that is and for it to be therefore not just policed episodically and accidentally by a mood in the congress this day or or a crazy opinion piece in the global times in beijing the next day, it should be the business of the national security advised the united states and his or her chinese counterpart to be the rolling policeman of those red lines. because if you breach them. operationally the

we will continue to oppose beijing's unlawful activities in the south and east china seas. 36 years ago an international tribunal found that beijing's claims in the south china sea has no basis in international law. we will support the region of coastal states in upholding their maritime rights. we will work with allies and partners to uphold freedom of navigation and overflight, which has enabled the region for decades. we will continue to fly in sale wherever international law allows. on taiwan, our approach has been consistent across decades and administrations. the president has said that our policy has not changed. the united states remains committed town one china policy. it's got it by the successor -- six assurances. we oppose any unilateral changes to the status quo from either side. we don't support taiwan's independence and we expect cross rate differences to be resolved. we continue to have an abiding interest in peace and stability across the taiwan strait. we will continue to uphold our commitments on the relations act to assist taiwan in maintaining a sufficient self-defe

because when there is one came to power, he announced very clearly that the territory of the south china sea traffic of all trade in the whole world. the mediterranean sea of ​​the world is actually the territory of china and osian, of course, understands that the counterweight and balance is shifting towards china and fighting. especially with connected ones. e to participate in the war with china in this situation, when there will be a confrontation between china and the united states. this is extremely disadvantageous. this is true, economically , they are becoming more and more tied to china. moreover , a significant part of the economy of almost all these countries is under the leadership of the chinese. many countries, they are very closely observed, how china is behaving in relation to this conflict of our ukraine, russian, and they are trying to copy this policy. that is, to stand behind her. no, that is what they do. china in relation. here is this crisis. they will only repeat, copy, in general, try to get the american side from the fact that they suddenly turned around a turn agai

if we look at the philippines, they themselves saw in a stand off with china in the south china sea, over fishing rights and over areas that china says, all that, as we've seen the chinese naval military clash with domestic filipino fishing boats . i mean, there is the precedent, is that not an example to the, the, these island states in the south pacific that this is what could happen if you give china access to your lucrative fishing areas. now exactly, and you put your finger on one of the main, one of the main concerns. one of the main areas of worry is if you look at what has transpired in the south china sea, not only with the philippines, which is one of the main claimants opposing china, but other countries as well in the region. there is a precedent. there is a recent history of china, preventing local fishermen from accessing their traditional fishing grounds, the resources that they've had access to for decades of not centuries. so certainly of this kind of deal goes through. and if china gains access to very lucrative fishing grounds around the tree bots, but other islands

in the east china sea and south china sea, and the united states, responding to china issues, includinguman rights. also, we affirmed our two countries's basic position on taiwan remains unchanged, and underscores the importance of peace and stability of the taiwan straits, and indispensable limit for the peace and prosperity of the international community. and called for peaceful resolution of taiwan straits issues. we share a serious concern over nuclear and missile issues, including the launch of icbm-plus ballistic missiles. we will cooperate even more closely with our friend. to an immediate resolution, i reiterated my request for for understanding and cooperation. president biden extended his strong support. after this, president biden will be meeting with family members of abductees. at a time when the regional security environment is becoming more severe, with president biden, we reaffirmed the need to have forceful deterrence and defense capability of the japan-u.s. alliances. i stated my determination to fundamentally reinforce japan's defense capabilities and secure substanti

south korea by an aide right now for the president to sign it. charles? >> charles: thanks, peter. china holding military drills in the south china sea. g in dan hoffman. china has been provocative from the very beginning of this biden administration, haven't they? they. >> they have. this is a not so subtle message from china that is trying to assert their position in the south china sea. what china seas right now is the west having been awakened from their most cold war slumber thanks to president zelensky and he's comrades fighting russia. president xi doesn't think that they should turn their attention to taiwan to dependence. he made it very clear that the united states needs to stick with this one china policy. >> charles: what is interesting and i think to your point, xi watching what has happened in russia very closely. so they've got these exercises today. i saw some photographs where they were practicing attacking japanese planes. they told officials there, don't buy assets in america because they might be taken in the event we invade taiwan. it looks like they're looking at everything that happened over there. a lot of thing

the fact they're carrying out military drills, they believe that much of the south china sea is territorially owned by china. which international law and many countries around the world disagree with. the fact is, from south korea and the united states point of view, they appear these two presidents to be at the same mind. when it comes to beijing. at this point. previous south korea presidents have always had to fairly delicate line and tight rope walk between the u.s. and china. there's always been in the background a sort of pressure to choose if you'd like. south korea is an ally of the united states. but china is one of the biggest trading partners of south korea. so it is a difficult position south korea has been in before. during the campaign, and i keep referring to the campaign because he's been in power 11 days. during the campaign he specified he wanted to be closer to the u.s. and that was read by default he would be harder on china. or at least less willing to go along with china. we simply have to wait and see if that's what he'll do. >> all right. in seoul, thank you very much.

take the situation in the eastern south china sea or the constant threat of the dprk. >> this is theu leaders' first visit to japan since they took office in 2019. she visited the peace memorial museum on friday. >>> people on an airliner in china have to evacuate when it veered off the runway and caught fire. the incident happened thursday in the inland city of -- it was about to depart the region when it ran off the rway. chinese aviation authorities say and nine crew members.engers they say everyone was evacuated but at 36 people suffered minor injuries. officials say the crew noticed an abnormality in the plane and aborted the takeoff. they sake the plane then left the runway and that part of it hit the ground. >>> eu members in the country lift the requirements of people must wear face masks on planes as part of the measures for coronavirus. t the new measure will take effect starting next monday. the eu aviation authorities say the decision is bed on multiple factors including vaccination levels and easing of restrictions across european country. its executive director says it

in the east china sea and south china sea and united states, too closely cooperate on responding to chinaincluding human rights. also we have that our two countries basic position on taiwan remains to be unchanged. . and underscored taiwan straits. which is an indispensable evident for peace and prosperity of the international community. and called for peaceful resolution for the issue. the dprk. sharing the serious concern over nuclear and missile issues. including the launch of icbm class ballistic missiles. japan and the united states. japan and u.s. are okay to cooperate more closely. toward immediate resolution of the issue, i reiterated my request for understanding and cooperation. president biden extended his strong support. after this, president biden will be meeting with family members of the abductees. at a time when regional security environment is becoming more severe, president biden we reaffirmed need to quickly reinforce the deterrents and response capability of japan u.s. alliances. i stated my determination to fundamentally reinforce japan's defense capabilities and secur

which is the future of taiwan in the future of the unresolved territorial disputes in east china sea in the south china sea in a a different context from te indian border and so, are these reconcilablest end of the basic question of logic, no but what is manageable and what thank you so therefore doable is a series of mutual understanding is perhaps reach internally and diplomatically about what constitutes the redlines in the mind of each government and each system which cannot be crossed unless you want to risk moving across the trip wire into the real risk of conflict and war. i can only be done it with a couple of i describes kissinger clarity between the two side is sue what that is hyper to be there for not just police to accidentally by a mood in the congress this day or a crazy opinion piece in the global times in beijing the next day and it should be this solves the national security advisor of the united states and his or her chinese counterpart to be the role inn the policeman of those redlines as if you reach them, operationally, then they will be an opportunity at that level to chall

the region as china starts to build up its military aggressions, whether it's in taiwan, the south china sea, or on the india/china border. and so when they meet, there are a lot of issues that they'll have to discuss, whether it's north korea, whether it's china, whether it's trade, which is another huge part of this trip with a major announcement that the president plans to make from this whole trip is sort of an outline of an asia trade plan. it's not a trade pact, it's sort of the rough sketch of what the president might want to accomplish on that. but there are some sticking points in this quad meeting. and you mentioned india. india has been reluctant to apply sanctions on russia for its war in ukraine. it has not followed the united states lead, and that's something the president will have to confront the president narendra modi on. the other outstanding question is who will attend from australia? they have elections coming up in the next couple of days. whether the incumbent scott morrison attends the meeting or whether he's replaced by someone else, it's sort of up in the air at thi

that's going to continue across the taiwan strait. promote freedom of navigation in the east and south china seas and to deter the democratic people's republic of korea. so thank you again mr. prime minister for your partnership and your friendship. a ryan's elite military unit, the revolution regard says that one of its senior members has been assassinated in the capital tiff wrong in a separate development. iran state tv announced the arrest of members of what it says. this is really intelligent staff work. there's the headline for these continues. he announced syrup after ha selects ah no, not a from with nick when you look in the neighborhood im una. hey, maria, to me as an allstate imagery with most of the new, for those in the home and a view to where we set up, what the hell didn't the pull up with me? all the de la multiplicity, yet obama possible. good for the same. yeah. okay, now you're the one i know the bill did with we'll see bobby house. i don't want the mean shooting abuto to look ah, my bag was my drug. if i had my drug i do everything. if i don't have my drug, i cannot blame. i

territorial pursuits in the south china sea and accusing beijing of sting with russia and the invasionine. >> we do not seek to block them as a major power, stop china or any other country for that matter from growing their economy and advancing the interest of their people. we will defend and strengthen the international law, agreements, principles, that maintain these securities, protect the rights of sovereign nations, and make it possible for all countries including united states and china to coexist and cooperate. china is the only country with the intent to reshape the international order and increasingly the economic, double medic, military, technological power to do it. beijing's vision would move us away from the universal values that have sustained so much of the world's progress over the last 75 years. >> they denounced the remarks is typical disinformation denigrating beijing. >> the international order and international -- have clear definitions. safeguard the international order based on national law and the basic norms regarding international relations underpinned by the

this is the topic of the south china sea real controversy, wow! ere, as it is becoming quite clear now, it was not about not protecting the allies, but about separating russia from europe from europe, weakening both europe and russia, separating china from asia, weakening both china and asia, and, so to speak, carrying out this grandiose operation in the spirit. divide and rule. to rule over everyone, that is, and sessions with her mantras, and harmony, compromises and inclusiveness, it turns out not to be the fate of the problem is that this is all very good approached e to the period when events develop in an evolutionary mode step by step, as the oceanians themselves like it. and how does it fit in? well, i would say with some very deep ones. uh, hmm, it's a cultural-psychological setting. now we see, yes, that e events are developing in leaps and bounds, through some completely unexpected e, unexpected in their line. ah, the crisis. that's all. this actually knocks the ground out from under what is called the central role, osians. eh, i say it'

it even seems that this is not europe at all, but some asian town on the coast of the south china seaoes not just need to know not only the name of the street, but also the name of the area in each of the six venetian districts, house numbers are not repeated, so their maybe several thousand, the usual coordinate system does not fit venice. if you are heading somewhere, it is better to find the desired point on map and lay a detailed route to it without this, here you can wander around in circles around the right places without finding it. this is a typical venetian street, two people will disperse on it with great difficulty, but the locals are perfectly oriented in the intricacies of these alleys and can cross the city much faster than those who do not know how to do it. every venetian has a small map of his. in general, cities have been in the head since childhood, if you look at their city from space, it becomes clear that it similar to the latin letter c or the dollar sign does not know this, you can walk along the large canal from one end of the city to the other for a very long

when chinese coast guard vessels use water cannons to stop or resupply with the navy ship in the south china sea actions like these, remind the world of how beijing can retaliate against proceed opposition. there's another area, the line that we share with our allies and partners. human rights. the united states stands with countries and people around the world against the genocide and crimes against humanity happening. the change on region where more than a 1000000 people have been placed in detention camps because of their ethnic and religious identity. we stand together on to better or the authorities continue to wait a little campaign against tibetans in their culture. language, religious traditions, and in hong kong, where the chinese communist party is imposed harsh anti democratic measures under the guise of national security. now, beijing insists that these are somehow internal matters that others have no right to race. that is wrong. it's treatment of ethnic and religious minorities and sion, janet tibet, along with many other actions go against the court tenants of the un charter and t

vietnamese refugees were fleeing communism after the fall of saigon but they got lost in the south china sea, 33 adults and 18 children adrift on this fishing boat, low on fuel and hope >> how dire was the situation? >> many ship pass by and didn't rescue us >> reporter: but death would not be their destiny thanks to a man who was chief mate on the container ship, george peterson. >> i'm the captain's right-hand man he told me, go down in the boat tell them they can have all the food and the water. but we can't bring them up. >> reporter: but george insisted on bringing them all on board, prepared to accept any consequences >> what made you think we can't just give them food and water? we need to rescue them >> any human being can see that if someone needs help, you give them help. >> reporter: ang tran now an attorney for the city of los angeles and hi brother van were 4 and 9 at the time. >> i do remember seeing for the first time huge men with blue eyes, big muscles, like, literally carrying us from the little boat up to the ship >> that decision that he made changed everything for us. >>

in 2019, american ships twice passed near the disputed islands in the south china sea. vy as a threat to national security interests 3 years ago there was already another conflict between the us pacific fleet and the chinese fleet, then we had already helped china and advanced to strengthen its grouping in the south china sea area and the american fleet. why the need to leave? that is, they just say so, e laid the reverse courses and went to the expanses of the pacific ocean. similar provocations took place in the waters of the sea of ​​japan in november 2020, sailors of the pacific fleet drove away the american destroyers that violated the borders of russia in the far east and at the beginning of this year, the crew of our frigate took bearings under the us boat in the kuril area the submarine ridges were expelled from the territorial waters of russia, it reminded one of the doctrines in the western world - this is the us defense concept, then they emphasize that it is impossible to conquer two countries. this is russia and china a consequence of it. well, frankly , a v

practice in washington, so in 2019 , american ships twice passed near the disputed islands in the south china sead invasion of territorial waters of the russian islands. and that the actions of the us navy caused serious damage to the sovereignty and security interests of china, as military experts say, then worked out the interaction of russia with china at sea. it showed itself in action 3 years ago there was already another conflict between the us pacific fleet and the chinese fleet, then we already helped china and moved forward to strengthen its grouping in the area. the south under the china sea and the us navy fleet set the stage for the need to leave, that is, they just, so to speak, e laid the reverse courses and went into the expanses of the pacific ocean. the purpose of today's joint air patrol. as noted, the development of partnership between russia and china and the increase in the level of interaction between our armies is a long flight, in which actions in the unified battle order evgeny lyamin were practiced. irina bliznyuk roman kudrinka and danilov channel one. expansion of coop
