Chinese naval vessels have departed Russia’s Far East following the completion of high-profile joint maritime patrols and naval exercises with the Russian Pacific Fleet. The People’s Liberation Army Navy warships concluded maneuvers in the Sea of Japan and Western Pacific before making a final port call in Vladivostok. The joint operations—featuring guided-missile destroyers, air defense drills, and anti-submarine maneuvers—underscore deepening military coordination between Moscow and Beijing as both nations counter US-led security alignments in the Asia-Pacific region. While defense officials insisted the drills adhered strictly to international law and targeted no third party, the maritime exercises triggered heightened monitoring from military forces in Japan and the United States.
