China and Russia have launched a joint naval exercise, and Beijing has conducted a missile test, according to The Zioneer.

China and Russia have launched a joint naval exercise, and Beijing has conducted a missile test, according to a report from The Zioneer. The timing of the exercise and test coincides with the NATO summit convening in Ankara this week, a gathering that has laid bare deepening divisions between the United States and Europe. The Zioneer assesses that the West is currently facing a period of significant internal discord, with the Trump administration's policies straining transatlantic relations. The joint exercise and missile test underscore the growing military cooperation between Beijing and Moscow, which are likely monitoring the West's disunity closely. The Zioneer's analysis notes that NATO's reliability has been questioned, further complicating the Western response to challenges from multiple fronts. The developments come as the West grapples with its worst season of internal division, as adversaries take note.
