China and Vietnam Armies conduct their first-ever Joint Training Exercises in China

The Armies of China and Vietnam recently conducted their first ever Joint Training Exercise at the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in China. The Troops from both Countries initially showed to each other their Wheeled Vehicles, Light Arms, Reconnaissance Equipment, Drones, Protective Devices, etc.

The Training will mainly cover Joint Patrol Exercises, and will cover four Main Aspects, which are Joint Reconnaissance, Joint Fire Strike, Joint Rescue and Joint Logistic Support.

The Subjects covered will include Camouflaged Reconnaissance, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Reconnaissance, Live-Fire Shooting and Rescue of the Wounded. The two Sides will also conduct Exchanges, Visits and Cultural Activities.

MY THOUGHTS:
Remember again that both China and Vietnam still have unresolved Territorial Disputes in the South China Sea (SCS) like the Philippines, but those two Sides choose to remain close not only Economically but also Militarily instead of antagonizing each other.

Joint Military Training like this with China is now unimaginable under this Administration of Bong Bong Marcos (BBM) as he has basically mobilized his entire Government to speak out and antagonize China at every Opportunity they get.

I also saw many Posts about this Exercise pointing out how Vietnam brought along their own home-made STV-380 Assault Rifle which is based on the AK Platform and is chambered in the 7.62 x 39 mm caliber. Yes, unlike us, the Vietnamese Army uses a Service Rifle something which are manufactured in their Country.
