The United States deploys "medium-range missiles" in the Philippines!
On the 15th, according to French media reports, the United States deployed the US Army's new land-based missile launch system, which is capable of launching Tomahawk cruise missiles and Standard-6 missiles, to the northern part of the Philippine island of Luzon.

The island is only 400 kilometers from the Chinese island of Taiwan and is across the sea from Taiwan Province.
The maximum flight range of the missile in this system is 1700-2500 km, and the maximum flight speed is Mach 0.74 per hour. It poses a substantial threat to the Taiwan Strait, the southeast coast, and the South China Sea.
This is the United States' preparation for a direct armed conflict against China, in addition to trade wars, science and technology wars, and financial wars.
A few days ago, the United States, Japan, and the Philippines held a "summit" in the United States to strengthen military cooperation among the three parties and build an Asian version of "mini-NATO."
The United States has a heavy presence in Asia
Currently, the United States has more than 50,000 troops stationed in Japan and has more than 90 military bases. There are more than 30,000 U.S. troops in the Ryukyus alone.

The United States has about 30,000 troops stationed in South Korea.

There are about 80,000 U.S. troops in a small part of East Asia, accounting for about one-third of the U.S. global military presence.
The United States has focused its forces on Asia in order to contain China militarily.
Japan's Self-Defense Forces have about 250,000 active personnel, but the Japanese train the Self-Defense Forces according to the standards of officers, and in the event of war, Japan can quickly expand its military. Moreover, Japan's equipment is also "decommissioned" after a few years of service, and the "decommissioned" equipment is still under normal maintenance and can be dragged out to fight at any time.
Japan's war potential is enormous.
If the United States dares to intervene in disputes around China and provoke China, China must be prepared to drive the United States out of East and Southeast Asia
The global presence of U.S. troops is an important means of maintaining its global hegemony.
The U.S. military presence in Asia is to control allies and to confront China.

The United States has planted several landmines around China, such as handing over the Ryukyus to Japan, leading to disputes over the Diaoyu Islands and even the Ryukyus, and instigating the Philippines to illegally occupy China's islands and deeply intervene in the Taiwan Strait.
If the United States provokes trouble around China, it will inevitably send troops from its military bases in Japan, South Korea, and the Philippines (and there is no chance of winning in other places, and it will not be able to pull its allies into the water together)
At this point, China will strike at the source of its attack and wipe out the U.S. military and its bases from Asia.
Once the United States is driven out of Asia, the United States will lose control of Asia politically and economically.
East Asia alone accounts for one-third of the world's GDP, and with the departure of the United States, Asia's economies will become more integrated.
The world will usher in a truly Asian era.
The decline of the United States will be an inevitable outcome.
When necessary, join forces with Japan and South Korea to drive out the United States
There are no eternal friends and no eternal enemies in the world.
Japan and South Korea have suffered from the United States for a long time, but they dare not speak, make trouble, and still less drive the US military away.
Without the U.S. military presence in Japan and South Korea, Japan and South Korea would have the ability to be politically autonomous.
At present, Japan and South Korea are only colonies of the United States, and they cannot be said to be sovereign and independent countries at all.
If there is a conflict between China and the United States in Asia, China can engage in diplomatic and military cooperation, along with Japan and South Korea, to drive out the US military. In that case, China will get twice the result with half the effort.
The complete elimination of the US military from East Asia has made China, Japan, and South Korea all happy.
Write at the end
Since the United States wants to do it, we will do it. Since the United States wants to fight, we will invite them to go down to the Pacific Ocean to drink water.
When the US military leaves East Asia and Southeast Asia, the world will inevitably change the world.
