GUANGZHOU, Jan. 1 (Xinhua) -- Thousands of Chinese marines will be deployed in the next few days to a training base in northwest China's Xinjiang to begin their first military exercise of 2016.
As the Chinese military expands its training sites and conditions, the Xinjiang base gives troops a real combat situation under desert conditions.
Previous drills were conducted at a training base in north China's Inner Mongolia, cold regions in northeast China, and in highland jungles.
The drill will improve troops' fighting abilities "in a wider area, a larger space and in a more complicated environment," said a military source.
The soldiers will be transported via a 5,900-kilometer route from southern province of Guangdong to Xinjiang by train, air or truck. Their mobilization, desert combat tactics and coordination will be tested, and they will also carry out a combat exercise with an infantry division of the Lanzhou Military Area Command.

New Law Allows PLA to Undertake Counterterror Missions Overseas
China's new counter-terrorism law has made it legal for the People's Liberation Army (PLA) to participate in counterterror missions overseas.
The PLA and the country's armed police forces may carry out such operations with the approval from the Central Military Commission, says the law adopted by top legislature on Sunday.
Public security and national security authorities may also send personnel overseas for counter-terrorism missions, with the approval from the State Council and agreements from concerned countries.
The law also stipulates that related departments, authorized by the State Council, may collaborate with overseas governments and international organizations in holding policy dialogues, communicating on intelligence information, enforcing the law and regulating international capitals.
The new law comes at a delicate time for China and for the world at large - terror attacks in Paris, the bombing of a Russian passenger jet over Egypt, and the brutal killings of hostages committed by the notorious Islamic State (IS) extremist group are alerting the world about an ever-growing threat of terrorism.
It will provide legal support to the country's counter-terrorism activities as well as collaboration with the international society, said An Weixing, an official with the public security ministry, at Sunday's press conference.

PLA "Thunder Run"
In a scene that reminisces the US Army Third Infantry Division's drive
to Baghdad in April 2003, a mechanized brigade, 20th Group Army, Jinan
Military Region conducts its own "Thunder Run" to test its armor thrust
in a MOUT. It is a good attempt. However, it is somewhat difficult
to imagine any "island" city has this type of wide open boulevard or the
Type92/WZ551 IFV would stand as well against RPGs as the US M2.
Another way to look at it -- being the PLA has its perks -- it can conduct this type of large scale MOUT exercise without worrying about lawsuits.

Anyone know the GPS coordinates of Chinese MOUT training grounds in Xiajing. I have looked on Google Earth and found some military bases but not the one that appears on this website.
