Beijing: Friday, a Chinese military spokesman urges the Philippines to honor his promise and to withdraw the American missile system Typhon from his territory as soon as possible.
Zhang Xiaogang, spokesperson for the Ministry of National Defense, made these remarks when he was asked to comment on the reports indicating that the US Typhon missile system continued in the territory of the Philippines.
The United States has installed the Typhon missile system in the Northern Philippines in April 2024 as part of the Joint American military exercises. The Philippines promised that the deployment would be “temporary” and that the system would be withdrawn following the conclusion of military exercises.
China has repeatedly declared its firm business to the American deployment of missiles of intermediate range in the Philippines, said Zhang.
Recognizing Typhon is a strategic and offensive weapon, Zhang said that the Philippines had repeatedly denied his commitment and addressed the American party by introducing the system, adding that this would not only put its own security and national defense to The mercy of the others, but also the risks of geopolitical confrontation and an arms race in the region.
Note that the Philippines also linked the Southern China Sea to the missile system, Zhang said that this decision is both “ridiculous and dangerous” with regard to his own security, people’s well-being and peace and peace regional stability as a negotiation currency.
China has urged the Philippine part to fully recognize the high sensitivity and the serious prejudice to the deployment of the missile system, to remove the system as soon as possible in accordance with its promise and to return to the good route of dialogue and consultation to a Early date, says Zhang.
China will continue to take the necessary measures to counter the acts of counterfeiting and provocation and to firmly protect its territorial sovereignty and its maritime rights and interests, added Zhang.
