This naval exercise is an annual event previously taken place in the East Sea, the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea, and several other locations. This year’s exercise marks a new significance after the Permanent Court of Arbitration’s ruling against China over unlawful restriction of fishing activity in the Scarborough Shoal, a disputed territory by China, Taiwan, and the Philippines. An arbitration panel located in The Hague, Netherlands, issued a decision objecting to China’s dispute claim against their neighboring Asian countries.

Russia has always been a strong support of China’s stance over this case. China also blames the United States for taking part in continuously stirring tension in the region by taking sides in the disputes and military patrols.
