The Russian guided-missile cruiser Varyag arrived at an east Chinese naval base Saturday ahead of a planned joint exercise with the Chinese navy, news agency Xinhua reported.

The large-scale war game, the navies’ first bilateral drill, is scheduled Sunday through Friday off the resort city of Qingdao in the Yellow Sea, Xinhua said.

Russia also sent from Vladivostok three Udaloy class destroyers and three support ships, said Russian news agency Ria Novosti.

4. In the long term, China is the biggest threat to Russia

Russia has a declining population in a vast land full of natural resources. China has an exploding population with an insatiable appetite for natural resources. One day China is going to look north at all that empty Russian land and start wondering how easy it would be to grab them.
