I don't understand. The majority of joint Russian-Chinese exercises revolve around either defending against NATO aggression or Counter-Terrorism related stuff, given the US interference in the South China Sea this one seems to fall into the former, so I'm not sure where these accusations are coming from.

Tell that to Putler, who still thinks the Soviet Union is real and that he somehow matters.
I know who the bad guys are this time round. Can't get fooled again.
Again NATO is a defensive alliance.

Yah, needs constant reminding, because its a lie.
The truth is NATO, US and German tanks are all the way into Poland right up against the Russian border, just like before WWII.
Defensive my ass, warmonger. Are you insane?
How is it we are the Nazis this time around?
Those were Soviet and German tanks up against the Polish before WW2. The US was not involved at that point and NATO did not exist. Maybe you remember the deal where Germany and Russian invaded Poland and cut it in half. Also the Soviets got to invade the Baltic states. This after invading Finland.

And before Russia invaded Crimea it used to join NATO military exercises.
They did more than that. Russia was a NATO Partner for Peace member.
