[국제]Sino-Russian “protecting common interests against the United States”… “We kept international law” in entering Cadiz

[앵커]

There is a conflict as Chinese and Russian bombers have invaded our air defense identification zone. The two countries are in the position that there is nothing wrong with international law, so this situation is expected to occur further in the future.

Ahead of the launch of the Biden administration, China and Russia are in the shape of a solidarity for a joint response.

The Russian Ministry of Defense has released video footage of a Chinese ‘Hung-6K’ bomber taken from its own fighter jet.

The Chinese and Russian governments have said the patrol flight training is not aimed at a specific country.

Regarding the entry of our air defense identification zone, it is the position that international law has been followed and airspace has not been violated.

The defense ministry of both countries announced that four Chinese bombers and two Russian bombers were involved in the training.

This is smaller than our military’s announcement that a total of 19 military aircraft, including six bombers, were in and out.

The training was announced as an annual event following last year and announced that it will be held annually.

In the future, the combined flight of China and Russia will become more frequent, and there is a prospect that air tankers will participate.

It seems to me that China’s pulling in Russia and launching long-range bombers into the East Sea seems to be a deterrent to the United States.

As the US pressures China along with Japan and Australia in the South China Sea, China is joining hands with Russia.

Chinese and Russian foreign ministers have agreed to raise the level of response to the United States by holding phone talks.

The foreign ministers of the two countries condemned the U.S. unilateral sanctions and cooperated to protect the common interests.

However, the US military response to concern over the threat from China continues.

Recently, a US destroyer passed through the Taiwan Strait, as well as close proximity to a Chinese island in the South China Sea.

In response, China revolted by deploying aircraft carriers in nearby waters.

China is still looking forward to working with the United States, and the US Biden administration has yet to establish a public policy.

However, as the military battle between the two countries continues, we are not finding a breakthrough in improving relations.
