SS: Russian and Chinese forces are conducting joint military operations in the Sea of Japan. These types of drills aren't uncommon, but show a commitment to increasing interoperability and cooperation with one another. It is unlikely that Russia and China will directly cooperate with one another in the event of conflict with an outside power, but strategic planning and synchronizing logistics may help each other in their respective conflicts.
