NDC Outlook 07-2025, by Narantsatsral Enkhbat1

Summary
- China-Russia joint strategic air patrols and naval manoeuvres near U.S. territory in the Pacific have become a growing trend, serving as geopolitical messaging.
- China is likely to become more involved in maritime security and power projection in the Arctic, as evidenced by its Coast Guard’s manoeuvres with Russia in the Northern Pacific.
- Russia conducts military drills and manoeuvres with China in the South China Sea (and potentially in the Taiwan Strait) to show support to China on territorial issues.
