Chinese navy teams up with coastguard in rare joint missile exercise


The PLA naval division in charge of the Taiwan Strait and the East China Sea conducted a rare joint exercise with a regional coastguard unit, the navy said on Monday, without saying when or where it took place.

The exercise simulated a joint air and sea response to an enemy missile attack on a frigate flotilla from the Eastern Theatre Command. The participants also practised countering “violent resistance” to law enforcement activities.
