China sent troops to Belarus for a training exercise for the first time on Monday, conducting an exercise called “Eagle Assault” near the Polish border that simulated capturing an airport.
The joint air and ground exercise was “seen by experts as a response to NATO’s growing interest in the Asia-Pacific region and a signal that China’s involvement in Europe will continue to grow,” as Voice of America News (VOA) put it.
Belarus, already firmly in Russia’s orbit, is cultivating closer ties with China after joining the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), a security association that Beijing and Moscow touted as an Eastern-led alternative to NATO. Belarus became the first nominally European member of the SCO on July 4.
The world gets a little more interesting.
