China has taken a firm stance against the U.S. decision to deploy medium-range missiles in Asia, calling it a threat to regional stability. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi addressed the issue on Friday, emphasizing that the move is 'not welcomed' by neighboring countries and undermines efforts to foster a peaceful Asia-Pacific.
💡 Wang stressed Asia's role as China's home and future, stating, 'Today's China is an anchor of stability, engine of economic development, and pillar of regional security.' He reiterated Beijing’s commitment to 'open regionalism' and building a 'shared future' for the continent.
🌍 The U.S. deployment, seen by many as a strategic pivot to counter China's influence, has stirred concerns over a new arms race. Analysts suggest the move could escalate tensions, complicating trade and security dialogues in the region.
Wang’s remarks highlight China’s push for diplomatic unity, urging nations to prioritize 'harmony over division.' With Asia contributing over 60% of global growth, the stakes for maintaining stability have never been higher.
