It is rare for the Chinese military to make such an announcement ahead of time, according to Ming Pao Daily News. In an apparent coincidence, the drill was announced shortly before the start of the US and South Korea's joint military exercise on June 28 in the Yellow Sea. Singapore's Lianhe Zaobao, a leading Chinese morning newspaper, reports that the East China Sea fleet of People's Liberation Army issues a "rare" notice declaring a live fire exercise to be held in East China Sea just before the US-South Korea's joint military exercise starts in Yellow Sea. PLA's live exercise will be held early in the morning to 6 o'clock in the afternoon. The new type of missile yacht 022 is reported to join the live fire exercise. BBC report says the occation of PLA's live fire exercise in East China Sea raises speculation. According to Chinese military experts, such a live exercise is held every year. It's difficult to identify any connection between this live fire exercise and US-South Korea's joint military exercise. Is China's live fire military exercise targeting US and South Korea? |
