China and
Russia announced on Tuesday that they will conduct an anti-missile
joint exercise next year as the United States plans to deploy a
missile defense system near them.
The drill,
which will be the second of its kind, was confirmed at a China-Russia
joint news briefing on missile defense on the sidelines of the
seventh Xiangshan Forum, a high-end defense affairs dialogue, in
Beijing.
The US and
the Republic of Korea have infuriated Beijing and Moscow by advancing
their joint plan to deploy in the ROK the Terminal High Altitude Area
Defense system, a missile-defense system whose radar, with a radius
of 2,000 kilometers, could cover parts of China and Russia.
Major
General Cai Jun, with the Joint Staff Department of China's Central
Military Commission, described the plan to deploy the anti-missile
system as "damaging to global strategic balance and regional
security and stability".
