The Chinese mainland Foreign Ministry on Monday called on the Philippines to withdraw the U.S. Typhon mid-range missile system as soon as possible. 🛑
Spokesperson Mao Ning made the remarks during a regular press briefing in response to inquiries about the U.S. deploying its Typhon missile system in the Philippines. 🇺🇸➡️🇵🇭
China has consistently expressed strong opposition to the deployment of such strategic and offensive weapons in the region. Mao emphasized that accepting the missile system is a provocative and dangerous move, partnering with external forces to fuel regional tensions and an arms race. 🔥⚔️
\"The region needs peace and prosperity, not mid-range missiles and confrontation,\" she stated, urging the Philippines to correct this action and withdraw the missile system early. 🌟✌️
