Sputnik: Russian-Chinese Drill in Mediterranean Sends Signal to US – Western Media
The Russian and Chinese navies began joint naval exercises in the Mediterranean Monday in the latest sign of strengthening ties between the two countries.
The naval drill, to include live-fire exercises in the strategic sea connecting Europe, Africa and the Middle East, is seen by Western media as a signal being sent to Washington of a powerful new alliance emerging “in the very backyard of Western Europe”.
“While only two Chinese warships are joining the Mediterranean exercises, their deployment reflects China’s desire to help Russia counter American power”, the New York-based National Preview magazine wrote in a comment.

For many reasons I'm not that impressed, but there is no denying the fact that they are THERE.
I agree James. This is purely symbolic. But it will lead to even more war games and cooperation.
