1. For those who don't want to enrich a content creator or youTube...

China is sending a clear pro-Russian signal and quiet threat to NATO.

TALLINN, Estonia (AP) — Belarus is hosting Chinese troops for a joint military drill near its border with NATO member Poland, officials said Tuesday, the first such exercise reflecting growing defense ties between the two countries.

The 11-day drill named Eagle Assault 2024 started on Monday at a shooting range in the Brest region close to Poland. It comes ahead of NATO’s summit in Washington that opens on Tuesday and after Belarus last week joined a regional security organization led by China and Russia.

Belarus’ authoritarian President Alexander Lukashenko, who has ruled the country of 9.5 million with an iron hand for three decades, has relied on close ties with his main sponsor and ally Russia, and also sought to forge increasingly close relations with China.

3. Thanks for the summary

The Chinese are very ambitious. Russia should not turn their backs on them.

10. 100 troops

With its external environment becoming increasingly grim and complex, China has chosen to convey its response through force projection. Its ongoing military exercises with Belarus and Russia must be viewed in this context.

On the eve of the NATO Summit, military forces from China and Belarus gathered at a base near Brest city, five kilometers from the latter’s border with Poland, to commence the “Eagle Assault 2024” joint counterterrorism and hostage rescue training exercise. This is the second edition of the exercise, with the first one having been conducted in August 2018 in China’s Jinan city.

In terms of the number of troops participating, the 2024 exercise has put up a larger display of force, with both the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Northern Theater Command 80th Group Army and the Belarusian Special Operations Forces contributing about 100 troops each. In 2018, the total number of troops deployed by both sides together was 100.

7. The devil is in the details

China doesn't have the apparatus to support any long deployment in Europe.

Why would you discourage anyone from watching the video and finding out the facts, I wonder wonder who

13. Because the title is clickbait

And your "excellent channel" remains unnamed (its logo is an ampersand - could be anything, and looks designed to stop people looking it up).

The title alone isn't so bad - there's not that much you can fit in a title. But you're allowed to write as much as you like in your OP ("eg "The devil is in the details - China doesn't have the apparatus to support any long deployment in Europe" ), or explain that it's an exercise in Belarus. But you didn't bother. Watching a video takes time, and there are a lot of people who produce crap videos.

2. I won't panic, but the optics aren't good. China is a fascist nation, like Russia.

An alliance of utter corruption and violence.

9. Pretty much a formality

China has no intention of fighting in Europe.

5. Chinese forces don't have combat experience

On their home field they could be tough because they can keep resupplying the meat grinder.....but in Europe against NATO forces that have basically been fighting some kind of war for the past 25 years? They're fucked.

8. Their logistics

Won't support it at this time.

Lots of info in the video to back that up.

6. Chinese combat soldier in Ukraine tells his experiences.

Chinese combat soldier in Ukraine tells his experiences.

He calls his buddy 'Little Blackie', but not an insult.

They cannot communicate effectively.

The average foot soldier is not hopeful.

The Russians have long fought wars of attrition by
throwing more and more men at it.
