This military activity, which is held every two years, will happen again this 2023. Officials said that the Talisman Sabre this year will be the largest one yet. 

Because of this, U.S. Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro said that the defense activity is a message to China that everything the U.S. and its allies do is tied by their core values. 

"The most important message that China can take from this exercise and anything that our allies and partners do together, is that we are extremely tied by the core values that exist amongst our many nations," explained the official.
