China's large-scale military exercise is targeted at any third party. The exercise ending on friday, involves members of the Sanghai Cooperation Organization(SCO) group, including the Central Asian states of Kazakistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan & Uzbekistan.
The SCO group formed in 2001, aims at curbing extremism, enhancing border security & the influence of NATO, as well. According to China's Defence Minister, it is an important move to deter the three evil forces of "Terrorism", "Separatism" & "Extremism". Sources also say that it aims at challenging U.S. & Japan.
According to the China Central Television, Zhang Junshe, the vice-president of the Naval Research Institute of China, SCO is not at all aggressive & not targeted at any third party.
The activity of the three evil forces has been more prominent since the U.S. withdrew troops from Afghanistan. This has affected China & other countries in this region a great deal & the SCO should co-ordinate and co-operate to alleviate these threats & challenges, as said by the Pundit.
