Hey fam, big news on the security front: the Chinese mainland’s Foreign Ministry just dropped a statement urging the United States and Japan to withdraw their newly deployed Typhon missile system from Japan ASAP. 🚀💥
At a routine briefing, spokesperson Lin Jian warned that the deployment poses a "substantive threat to regional strategic security," arguing it could spark an arms race and ramp up military tensions across Asia.
China’s concerns center on:
- Risk of military confrontation 🔥
- Undermining other countries’ legitimate security interests 🤝
- Destabilizing regional peace and cooperation 🌏
Lin also slammed the use of "joint exercises and training" as a cover for stationing intermediate-range missiles, saying it ignores the voices of nearby nations and deepens mistrust.
As Japan marks the 80th anniversary of the victory over Japanese aggression in World War II, Lin reminded Tokyo to reflect on its past, stay cautious in security moves, and avoid "villainous acts" that could break trust with neighbors. 📜🕊️
With tension on the rise, all eyes are on whether the U.S. and Japan will hit pause, respect regional worries, and roll back the Typhon deployment. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story! 🎯
