The Beijing government began sending its military personnel and armaments to Russia, Saturday, where the two countries are scheduled to hold the second joint-military drills.
The second joint-military exercise comes less than a month after the two sides held their largest-ever joint naval drill in the Sea of Japan.
The second joint-military-drill known as Peace Mission 2013 will be an anti-terrorism drill. Chinese soldiers and officers will be sent to the drill venue in Russia's Chebarkul training range in seven batches, with four travelling by air and three by train, according to the Chinese News Agency Xinhua.
A Beijing based military expert Chen Xuehui said that the joint military drills reflect ever-growing mutual trust between Moscow and Beijing.
"Traditionally, military forces that are geographically close are supposed to be each other's opponent in defense policies.
"Such cooperation is important given that forces near to each other usually face similar threats and conduct similar exercises in daily training," said Chen Xuehui.
The two countries held their first joint military-drill from July 5 to July 12.
The two sides said that the military drills were not aimed at disturbing any third party countries as the tension over sea disputes in the China Sea in recent months have been increasing considerably.
Following a summit between Chinese President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Barack Obama, Washington and Tokyo held a joint-military exercise in California as well.
China, who is North Korea's best ally, has distanced itself from the Pyongyang government in recent months over the Korean peninsula tensions, but has been building up its military ties with Russia.
