To discuss the US-Philippine joint exercise, we are joined by Zhang Junshe. He's the vice president of China's Naval Research Institute. Mr. Zhang, thanks for joining us.

Q1, First of all, what do you think of the scale of the annual military drill this year?

Q2,On Monday, China's Xinhua News Agency published an commentary piece on the drill. It says "A big country with vital interests in Asia, the United States should first clarify the targets of its Pivot to Asia strategy, which so far has featured no more than unscrupulous inconsistency between fear-mongering deeds and peace-loving words." What's your opinion?
