However, instead of backing down, China appears to have been rattled, prompting a fierce rebuke in Beijing's state-run newspapers asserting confidence in Chinese military superiority.
RT America’s Alex Mihailovich said: "The Global Times put out an editorial saying the US would be defeated if any conflict broke out in the South China Sea.
"Many see the drills as a show of force aimed at China as Japan works towards consolidating military alliances in an effort to deter its neighbouring superpower
"However the drills appeared to irritate China rather than contain it."
The editorial also read that the People's Liberation Army "doesn't even need to make pointed responses to the joint drills since its insignificant militarily".
Former UK MP George Galloway told RT that this would prompt an increase in military preparedness from China.
The week-long drills sees troops training in activities such as simulated urban combat, as well as defending remote islands and intercepting vessels at sea.
The drills are designed to send a message to an increasingly expansionist and aggressive China.

Maybe all of CCP's recent rattle sabers is due to, they know we ALL know, the evil they did to the world with their pucking Covid-19 germ-warfare attack, in my opinion?
So, they got the first punch in, and now want a knock down before action on them is given? Shut them up, if implemented, there are a number of actions the USA could take to send them back a hundred years, in my opinion. Now, if present Administration is not up to the task, we need Military to lead on their own, if they don't, and this is not CCP just posturing cause they are guilty of already attacking us, in my opinion, then it's my take, USA might have a bit of a problem, right? Prayers help....
And the beat goes on, and on, and on.......drum beats that is!!!
