The exercises to be held at thirteen military sites, according to Russia, will be attended by soldiers from the People’s Liberation Army (PLA, Chinese army), India, Belarus, Tajikistan and Mongolia, among other countries, in addition to the Slavic country’s ground and air troops.
This announcement comes two days after the PLA once again carried out military maneuvers around Taiwan, actions taken after the visit to the island of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, considered by Beijing as a “farce” and “deplorable betrayal” and which has raised tensions in the Taiwan Strait.
