Sino-Russian Naval Drills & Assertive Maritime Posturing in Western-Aligned EEZs

Sino-Russian naval cooperation has escalated, with confirmed joint live-fire drills within Japan's Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) and China Coast Guard asserting jurisdiction in Japan's EEZ. Concurrently, Russia has emulated Chinese assertive naval posturing near the UK coast, and Chinese research vessels have transited the US Bering Sea EEZ. This indicates a coordinated, assertive shift in maritime doctrine by China and Russia.
