China’s Air Force carried out exercises near the Korean peninsula

Almaty. September 7. Silkroadnews – China’s Air Force carried out exercises near the Korean peninsula, Australian ABC reported.
“China’s Air Force has carried out exercises near the Korean Peninsula, practicing to defend against a “surprise attack” coming over the sea”, the report said.
It is noted that anti-aircraft defense battalion conducted exercises near the Bohai Sea, the deepest gulf of the Yellow Sea, separating China from the Korean peninsula.
The troops travelled to the training site from central China. During the exercises, the Chinese Air Force shot down missiles over the Yellow Sea in the immediate vicinity of the border with the DPRK.
According to the statement by China’s Defense Ministry, the exercises “do not target any particular goal or country”, and were a part of the annual plan aimed to boost the capabilities of the troops.
With this, it is said, China is suspicious of the build-up of armaments in the region carried out by the U.S. and South Korea.
“After weeks of rising tension over North Korea’s actions, South Korea and the United States have been discussing the deployment of aircraft carriers and strategic bombers to the Korean Peninsula. China is deeply suspicious of any US-backed military build-up in the region, and has repeatedly expressed anger at the deployment of a US anti-missile defense system in South Korea”, the publication reads.
