China Demands US Remove Typhon Missiles from Japan

Beijing – China has called on the United States to remove its mid-range Typhon missile system from Japan, arguing that the deployment poses a significant threat to the strategic security of the region. The deployment, which proceeded despite China's objections, was carried out under the guise of joint military exercises between the US and Japan, according to Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian. "China strongly deplores and firmly opposes this move," Lin stated. "The presence of the Typhon medium-range missile system in Asian countries by the US undermines the legitimate security interests of other countries. It also escalates the risk of a regional arms race and military confrontation, posing a substantial threat to regional strategic security." Lin emphasized the need for the US and Japan to respect the security concerns of other nations, urging them to foster a positive role in promoting regional peace and stability. Moreover, China has called for the US and Japan to pay heed to the appeals from countries in the region, rectify their actions, and withdraw the Typhon missile system as soon as possible. This demand follows China's previous objections to the deployment of the Typhon system in the Philippines, where tensions are high due to maritime disputes in the South China Sea. In addition to the US assistance, the Philippines has also acquired Brahmos missiles from India.
