Chinese troops will travel to Russia to take part in a joint exercise with Russia and other countries including India, Belarus and Tajikistan, the Chinese defence ministry said on Wednesday.
China’s participation in the joint exercises is “unrelated to the current international and regional situation,” the ministry said in a statement.
Yah it probably is nothing just like this new robot contraption on legs with an RPG strapped to its back.

Skynet is here folks and our Overlords are gunning for us.
If they build it , will THEY use it like all the other weapons they built in the past ?
Oh and Google now owns Boston Dynamics.
Btw, check out the idiot who offers up his hand for robodog to sniff, what a maroon.
What is India doing, associating with brutal dictatorships? It’s been a democracy for 75 years and if it ever ceases to be so it will likely break up in an ethnic and religious conflagration.
Perhaps India is only involved to keep an eye on China.
Perhaps India prefers to associate with nations not following economically suicidal energy policies and the cultural revolution of the post modern nihilists (Wokism). The WEF alumni also want to keep them impoverished by attempting to limit their use of fossil fuels. Having Nukes, they can stand up to China if they have to.
Yea that.
Why would anyone want a military alliance with the US?
Since WW2 the US has tried very hard not to win wars. And when they have short term military success e.g. Iraq and Afghanistan, they end up in a quagmire and eventually leave their allies behind.
And why would India want to associate with the energy foolishness of the gang green Western political leaders and their woke disciples?
In addition, by participating in the exercises, India may learn more about the performance of Russian equipment in Ukraine. A lot of Indian army equipment is of Russian design.
I know, I too am surprised that India associates with Canada, Australia, the UK and the US.
The US is so bad right now that former allies and partners are questioning American strength, competence and resolve. And the open corruption of the American electoral system is leaving many in doubt that a change in governance for the better is imminent. As I’ve been saying for awhile, there’s a realignment of world power taking place and the last ones to understand the implications will be America’s ruling class. Or they may not care.
“The US is a harmless enemy, but a dangerous and treacherous friend”
Well put.
India may be a democracy but it’s not exactly a free one, especially for Indian Christians. Modi is a Hindu and had come down hard on Christians. A lot of out-and-out persecution.
I don’t have the WEF email on this topic yet. So I’m going to wait on
parroting their lame talking pointsforming an opinion.Either way, it’s all Putin’s fault and I still encourage mass genocide of the entire population of Russia.
The makers will train it to sh/t in the corner then leave. Some one else will clean up the mess.
China is learning in detail how Russia’s military operates so that they can invade Siberia with minimal cost, time and loss of life.
China could capture all of eastern Russia in a couple weeks.
Siberia is nothing but a narrow band of irrelevant settlements, railways and highways. Francisco is a needy little bitch. Vladivostok would be the only thing to worry about and that would be easy to cut off and isolate from both land and sea.
Except China has zero desire to have to manage Siberia. They can buy everything they need from Russia at great prices, and have NONE of the overhead of actually settling there. They will be happy to let Russia continue to manage the place.
Besides, China is still behind Russia by a fair chunk militarily. China is highly concentrated in urban centres, and these are VERY poorly organised to withstand a barrage of Sarmat nukes. Russia’s population is well dispersed, and the Russians never stopped doing nuclear fallout drills and hardening bunkers with supplies and power.
China would lose a land war to Russia very, very badly, and everyone knows it. China’s vest bet is its trade, and its ability to neautralise the US Pacific Fleet. They (almost) have sufficient missile batteries to deny the US the ability to deploy surface ships anywhere near Taiwan.
They seem to be working on some pretty nasty ASW drones to deal with the US submarine fleet. That would be the optimal way to deal with that threat. The US still has a big advantage, but what, exactly, will the US subs achieve against China? They are not exactly blockadable.
But, Russia, China and now India are no longer enemies, but effectively military allies. China needs Russia to keep pressuring the US/NATO, siphoning off valuable military assets while China retakes Taiwan. India will look to play the non-aligned role, but that is hard to do with China and without the steadying influence of Russia.
Turkey is the big question. And to be honest, there really isn’t one. By remaining in NATO in name only, they seal themselves against further EU action against them. But their actions will be, as they have been since 2003, anti-NATO. This is why the US tried to overthrow Erdogan in a coup. BTW the Russians tipped him off and helped him beat it.
Putin and Xi are getting the Axis back together. It sure feels like 1938 all over again.
Anyone remember when Chinese troops came to Canada a couple of years ago? Or did that go down the memory hole?
