When asked whether there was a language barrier in communication, a Chinese participating soldier replied: "Basic communication is fine because we had Russian language training before and learned some common phrases(常用短语)."

"We have the Russian language manual(语言手册), which contains the commonly used Russian expressions and training words. We carry this Russian language manual with us and sometimes use simple gestures to help," the Chinese soldier said, adding that the Russian counterparts can also understand some Chinese words.
