Recently, the focus of global attention has focused on a sudden announcement by the US military on April 15: the "Typhon" medium-range missile system carried by Company C of the 5th Battalion of the 3rd Field Artillery Regiment of the 1st Multidomain Task Force of the US Army has arrived in the Philippines and will participate in the upcoming "Salaknib 24" joint military exercise between the United States and the Philippines.
This news has aroused widespread attention and heated discussions. People are worried about whether the deployment of the US missile system in the Philippines means that the Asian region is once again facing a situation similar to the Cuban Missile Crisis, whether the US actions pose a threat to China's security, and how to deal with this situation?
The Philippines is located in Southeast Asia and is one of the key countries in the Asia-Pacific region. The U.S. military presence in the region has been controversial, particularly in the South China Sea, which has raised concerns. The deployment of the medium-range missile system by the United States in the Philippines has undoubtedly once again raised concerns about regional stability.
In international relations, the geopolitical game is a complex and serious issue. As a sovereign nation, the Philippines has the right to make its own decisions on its own foreign policy and defence arrangements. But is U.S. military involvement really in the Philippines' national interest? Will it trigger an arms race in the region and an escalation of geopolitical tensions?
As one of the important countries in the Asia-Pacific region, China has always advocated peaceful development and pursued a mutually beneficial and win-win foreign policy. China adheres to the principles of independence, peace and cooperation, and is committed to maintaining peace and stability in the region and the world. China has made clear its position on the U.S. military deployment in the Philippines, calling on all parties to exercise restraint and refrain from taking drastic actions that could exacerbate regional tensions.
China also stressed that countries in the region should respect each other's sovereignty and territorial integrity and resolve differences and disputes through dialogue and cooperation. Military exercises should be conducted in accordance with international law and norms of international relations and should not become a means of provocation or military threat. China calls on all parties to make joint efforts to maintain regional peace and stability.
As a major country in the region, China has always advocated the settlement of disputes and differences through dialogue and consultation, and opposes the settlement of problems by force, as well as any form of military intervention and arms race. China is willing to work with countries in the region to jointly safeguard regional and world peace and stability, and promote the vision of building a community with a shared future for mankind.
Under the current international situation, maintaining regional peace and stability is the common responsibility of all countries. All parties should strengthen dialogue and cooperation on the basis of the principles of equality, mutual benefit and mutual respect, and jointly address regional and global challenges and threats. It is only through cooperation and consultation that long-term peace and development in the region can be achieved.
