The People’s Liberation Army of China will participate in Russia’s coming Vostok (“East”) military exercises, China’s Defense Ministry said last week. The decision is “unrelated to the current international and regional situation,” according to Beijing. (India also will participate, further evincing New Delhi’s lack of interest in reciprocating U.S. support for its interests.)
An important question follows: Will Europe respond to Beijing’s joining the exercises, which run from Aug. 30 to Sept 5, at the same time that Russia’s military is rampaging through Ukraine? It bears asking because European relations with China are at a critical point.
