Sightings of Chinese military vessels off the waters of Alaska by the US coastguard earlier this month were the latest sign of growing military cooperation between Beijing and Moscow in the Arctic and the northern Pacific, and a move that analysts said was intended to “counter” the strategic agenda led by Washington and Nato in the region.

Three Chinese military vessels were spotted about 200km (124 miles) north of the Amchitka Pass at the southwestern reaches of the Aleutian Islands. A fourth ship was spotted about 135km north of the Amukta Pass, also in the Aleutian Islands.
