China and Russia wrapped up joint naval drills on October 17, 2021, near the Peter the Great Gulf in the Sea of Japan, or East Sea. Two destroyers, a submarine and two corvettes were some of the vessels Beijing sent to the four-day exercise that began on October 14. The annual joint drills aim to develop the comprehensive strategic military partnership between the two countries.
