| Heavily edited. I learn something new everyday in the war on terror. Moments ago I had no idea that Russia and China had an anti-terror treaty. Chinese senior officers said Wednesday that the large-scale joint anti-terrorism exercise conducted by the member countries of the Shanghai Co-operation Organization (SCO) will improve their ability to co-ordinate their fight against terrorism and help guarantee regional security and stability.Lieutenant General Li Qianyuan, head of the Chinese military delegation and Commander of the Lanzhou Military Command, said in an interview that the Chinese army will exchange anti-terror experience with troops of Russia, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Kazakhstan, and that they will discuss ways to work together to fight international terrorism. The high-level military exercise shows that the SCO member states take the same stand and have the same determination to fight terrorism, separatism and extremism, Li said. He also said it is an important for the SCO states to step up military co-operation, to further foster mutual trust among their armed forces, and to strengthen regional co-operation against terrorism. Here’s some pictures of Russkie paratroopers marching past a Chinese color guard. |

| #1 Moments ago I had no idea that Russia and China had an anti-terror treaty. This is essentially China's attempt to expand its influence in Central Asia. China has always viewed regions with yellow-skinned peoples as falling under its benevolent leadership. Most of its history has revolved around uniting yellow-skinned peoples under its banner. |
