China-Russia Cooperation Deepening over Taiwan: Japan Report
Nippon | English | News | Nov. 21, 2025 | Shifting Geopolitical Alliances
China and Russia have been strengthening their military cooperation with a focus on Taiwan and the East and South China seas, according to a report by Japan's National Institute for Defense Studies. The report highlights that their joint military drills and patrols serve as a countermeasure to the Western-led international order, with Russia especially supporting China on regional flashpoints like Taiwan. This cooperation has enhanced China's operational capabilities in the Indo-Pacific region.
The report also points out that the People's Liberation Army (PLA) of China increased its military drills around Taiwan following the 2022 visit of then-U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to the island. The PLA remains prepared to escalate operations based on developments in Taiwanese politics and the trajectory of U.S.-Taiwan relations.
Additionally, the trilateral relationship among China, Russia, and North Korea is contributing to rising uncertainties in the Indo-Pacific security environment. The recent gathering of the leaders of these three countries in Beijing for the 80th anniversary of China's victory in World War II is seen as a catalyst for enhancing strategic coordination among them. This dynamic is expected to intensify the rivalry between the Japan-U.S.-South Korea bloc and the China-Russia-North Korea bloc in Northeast Asia.
