Is Egypt Turning from the U.S. to China?

While China and Egypt’s first-ever joint air force exercise “Eagle of Civilization” in April 2025 initially flew under the radar—mostly discussed only among military enthusiasts—a video from the popular stream platform Bilibili has brought the issue into mainstream discourse.

The video, titled “China-Egypt’s Military Drill, Betraying the U.S., Resisting Zionism: How Big Is the Geopolitical Impact?”, was released this week by a prominent Bilibili commentator with nearly one million followers. It has already surpassed 300,000 views.
