The Chinese Marine Corps is the first batch of troops to open to the outside world approved by the Military Commission in the 80s of the 20 th century, and has received military heads of more than 60 countries and military attaches of more than 20 countries stationed in China, and has conducted joint training with counterparts from the United States, Russia, France, Thailand, India, Pakistan, Vietnam and other countries, showing strict discipline, tenacious style and excellent skills. On the world military stage, it has displayed its style in military and diplomatic activities, displayed the good image of our army as a mighty and civilized army, and won the praise and respect of foreign armies. It has also played an important role in deepening practical exchanges and cooperation with foreign militaries and enhancing mutual trust and friendship between countries.

In November 2006, the commander of a reinforced battalion of the U.S. Marine Corps led 30 U.S. Marines to Zhanjiang to participate in the confrontation exercise between the two Marines agreed upon by the Chinese and American leaders.

The first is through amphibious obstacles, that is, more than 10 obstacles are set up on the international standard 400-meter circular field, including swinging wave suspension bridges, 5-meter-high escalator overpasses, 40-meter-long aerial cableways, 40-meter-long creeping barbed wire and other obstacle crossing projects. By the standards of the U.S. Marine Corps, the passing grade is completed in 4 minutes and 30 seconds. But perhaps it was because the American soldiers did not adapt to the climate, environment and training facilities, and the fatigue of traveling and traveling, the participants all overtimed, while my team members all completed the subjects within the stipulated time. In the first event, China unexpectedly scored 20-0.

The second was rifle live firing, and the Chinese Marine Corps scored "excellent" more than the other side and won again.

At the end of the exercise, the U.S. Marines were convinced. Later, the commander of the US Marine Corps also admitted frankly that "the training content of the Chinese Marine Corps is very complicated and very difficult......There is a strong fighting power"!

From May 11 to 15, 2012, the Chinese and Thai navies held the "Blue Assault-2012" Sino-Thai Marine Corps joint training at a naval training ground in Zhanjiang and Shanwei, Guangdong. The joint training was based on the theme of "Marine Corps Joint Anti-Terrorism Combat", and it was the second joint training held by the Chinese and Thai marines after the "Blue Assault-2010". About 500 officers and soldiers from China and Thailand participated in the "Joint Anti-Terrorism and Sabotage Campaign" comprehensive exercise against the background of cracking down on regional terrorist organizations.

In this joint training between the two armies, the Thai side sent 126 training detachments, and the Chinese side sent 372 training detachments, and the training was divided into five stages: exhibition and exchange, mixed training and training, field survival, comprehensive exercise, and discussion and exchange.

China and Thailand have formed a joint training guidance group, which is jointly responsible for the organization and planning of joint training, training implementation, coordination, support, management and evaluation. The officers and men participating in the training on both sides were mixed into two companies, and they successively completed the training of light shooting, climbing and abseiling, squad tactics, explosive disposal and demolition, survival in the wilderness, ambush and counter-ambush, and aircraft landing.

Through such joint training, the two navies have promoted practical exchanges and cooperation, and demonstrated the determination, will and ability of China and Thailand to jointly respond to threats in the field of non-traditional security and safeguard regional peace and stability. The officers and men of the Chinese Marine Corps participating in the training are proficient in amphibious reconnaissance, diving, demolition, parachuting, parachuting, wilderness survival, combat and other combat skills, and are known as "tigers on land, dragons on the sea, and eagles in the air." The Thai officers and men participating in the training are subordinate to the 1st Marine Division of the Thai Marine Corps, which is also a unit with a long history, actual combat experience, and well-trained. The officers and men of the two sides participated in the training and exchanged ideas in common fields, forged a fraternal friendship, displayed the good image of the Chinese and Thai armies, and wrote a new chapter in the development of relations between the two countries and the two armies.
