I live in the Baltic area and it feels strange to have Chinas naval vessels here. Its not relly calming down the situation. Not only are we now having Russia to deal with and NATO:s ever bigger larger presens, now we also have the chinese o_O

NATO vessels regularly exercise with US and US East Asian allies off the Chinese coast. We don't like it either, but tough shit, we have to get used to it. You better get used to Chinese vessels off your coast like we had to get used to yours off ours.

What's the hidden, bigger geostrategic aim for PRC in the Baltic Sea? I can't find any aside from pissing off all the countries around it.

No one cares what you can and cannot find; go whine elsewhere. I'd be surprised if an individual of your stature can find a second digit for your IQ score.

well, if you don't understand or can't find it ... doesn't mean all are wrong ... just look yourself on the mirror :p:p:p

If somebody doesn't understand C++ .... doesn't mean the language is wrong or stupid ;)

now NavalToday:
Chinese Navy task group heads for Baltic Sea and bilateral drills with Russian Navy
A Chinese Navy three-ship task group is sailing towards the Baltic Sea where it is set to take part in exercises with the Russian Navy.

The bilateral drill, dubbed “Maritime Interaction 2017”, is scheduled to take place between July 21 and 28, and will involve an overall of 21 ships, according to a Russian defense ministry announcement.

According to images shared on social media by Dutch Marine Corps officer Rob Verkerk on July 17, as the Chinese task group passed through the North Sea, the group is composed of Type 052D destroyer Hefei (DDG-174), Type 054A frigate Yuncheng (571) and Type 903 replenishment ship Luomahu (964).

This year’s exercise will focus on maritime security and interoperability and builds on a previous one, organized between the two countries for the first time in 2012.

In addition to the Baltic Sea, China currently has a task group sailing in the Black Sea where Bosphorus observers captured the arrival of Type 052C destroyer Changchun, Type 054A frigate Jingzhou and Type 903 replenishment ship Chaohu to Istanbul, Turkey.

"yours"? My country is not sending any warships to the Chinese coast.
I dont take any side in this, but nothing is help by this.
