| 2023-10-16 |
| [Breitbart] The government of Saudi Arabia announced on Tuesday that the Saudi and Chinese navies have commenced a three-week joint exercise known as “Blue Sword.” The first Blue Sword drill was held in 2019, near Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea port city of Jeddah. This year’s exercise was launched from the southern Chinese city of Zhanjiang, with a ceremony attended by hundreds of troops. “The goal of the exercise is to boost the mutual trust and friendly relations between the Chinese and the Saudi Arabian navies, enhance the participants’ capabilities in naval combat and comprehensively improve the joint operational capabilities of overseas armed rescue units,” said China’s state-run Global Times. |

| #3 ^Actually I'm thinking of something different, TW. Unlike Americans, Chinese are NOT suckers. If Saudi ruling clan ally with China, they'll soon stop running things in Saudia. |

| #2 Perhaps China will master carrier groups in a blue-water navy before they run short of military age males to man the things, Grom, though the odds don’t appear to run that way. |
