SHANGHAI, China - Nearly 9,000 Russian and Chinese troops began a mock assault on the beaches of northern China Tuesday in the final stage of unprecedented joint war games between the two former Cold War rivals.
While this bears watching, I do not believe this is something to get overly worried about at this time. You can bet they are studying each other's weaknesses, very carefully.
The live-fire exercise, dubbed "Peace Mission 2005," involves about 7,000 Chinese troops and 1,800 Russians, along with warships, warplanes and amphibious tanks.
The contrast in numbers shows who has the military money to spend, and who doesn't.

Russia has brains and China has muscle. The Chinese learn a lot from Russia about more sophisticated war.
