Russia assists development of Chinese missile warning system

摘要

Russia is assisting China in the development of a missile warning system, according to comments made by Russian President Vladimir Putin at the Valdai Discussion Club, a Moscow-based think-tank, in Sochi on 3 October. The Russian leader said the system is intended to "enhance the defensive capacity of the People's Republic of China", pointing out that "currently only the United States and Russia have such systems". The remarks were reported by Russian and Western news outlets, but there appears to have been little coverage in China.
