China and Russia launch Joint Sea 2025 naval drills in the Sea of Japan, aiming to “deepen their comprehensive strategic partnership,” according to China’s Defence Ministry. The three-day exercises, which began Sunday near Vladivostok, feature submarine rescue, joint anti-submarine warfare, air defence, anti-missile operations, and maritime combat. Four Chinese vessels are taking part. The drills come as Beijing maintains close ties with Moscow, refusing to impose sanctions over Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
