China-Russia Military Drills Escalate Amid US Sanctions

China and Russia have conducted six joint military exercises in 2022, accounting for two-thirds of China's drills with foreign militaries, with five of them taking place after Russia's invasion of Ukraine. As China increases pressure on Taiwan, it has frozen high-level military dialogue with the US and intensified military engagement with Russia, which is seen as a way to counterbalance against US power. The drills between China and Russia, although smaller in scale compared to those between the US and its allies, carry political significance and send a message to the US and its allies. The growing defense cooperation between China and Russia raises concerns among US policymakers about a de facto alliance between the two countries.

A recent analysis of more than 500 employees found that actual strategic alignment among employees, managers, and executives was two to three times lower than perceived alignment.

China believes that partnering with Russia outweighs the risks as long as Russia shares China's grievances toward the U.S. Xi's primary focus during the trip was on expanding commercial ties with Russia and jointly promoting their shared agenda to challenge the existing international order. China is unlikely to question its alignment with Russia unless Russian escalation significantly and deliberately damages China's national interests.
