The Philippines deploys Tomahawk cruise missiles? What is this for? Does China dare to plant an east wind in Cuba?

Let's talk about a few things, first, the Philippines has recently made a big news, and the Philippine military dynamics have aroused global attention, especially its move to start deploying Tomahawk cruise missiles, which has undoubtedly exacerbated regional tensions. The move has led to speculation about whether China will take steps to counter the U.S. strategic threat, such as deploying intermediate-range missiles in Cuba.

The Philippines deploys Tomahawk cruise missiles? What is this for? Does China dare to plant an east wind in Cuba?

In fact, the U.S. military's low-altitude missile system on the Philippine island of Luzon already poses a direct threat to the Chinese, densely populated, economically prosperous southeastern region. Despite the global strike capability of ICBMs, their use in real combat is subject to a number of limitations. The launch of an ICBM often means a full-scale outbreak of war, because once launched, it is difficult to withdraw and easily trigger a nuclear counterattack by the other side, and the ICBM is regarded more as a strategic deterrent tool than the weapon of choice in actual combat.

In contrast, medium-range missiles are more flexible and practical. They are capable of delivering precision strikes against important enemy targets in a relatively short period of time and are not easily detected by enemy satellites, increasing the likelihood of a successful raid. In addition, medium-range missiles can also flexibly adjust the targets according to the battlefield situation, and have strong tactical flexibility.

It is worth noting that the low-altitude missile system deployed by the US military in the Philippines not only has the ability to launch Tomahawk cruise missiles, but can also launch standard-six anti-missile missiles, thus achieving both offensive and defensive capabilities. The deployment of this system has undoubtedly further enhanced the US military's military influence in the Asian region, and at the same time brought greater security pressure to China.

In the face of the strategic threat of the United States, China needs to take strong measures to deal with it. While the Cuban Missile Crisis is a thing of the past, the current situation bears a striking resemblance. Whether China will choose to deploy intermediate-range missiles in Cuba has become a topic of great concern, and no matter what choice China ultimately makes, it needs to remain calm and rational while safeguarding national sovereignty and security to avoid further escalation of regional tensions.

The deployment of an advanced intermediate-range missile system by the United States on the island of Luzon, an ally of the Philippines, is not a repeat of the Cold War, but a new dynamic in the current international security situation. The cruise missile system, called Tomahawk, is equipped with a four-cell MK4 vertical launch system and has the ability to fire land-attack Standard-6 missiles and Tomahawk cruise missiles.

According to reliable information, the Tomahawk cruise missiles deployed this time have an amazing range of up to 1800 km. The distance between the Philippines and the mainland's Hainan Island is only about 950 kilometers in a straight line, which means that the missile system can cover almost most of the southern part of the mainland. Imagine that Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan, Hubei, Fujian, Zhejiang, and Shanghai, all of these densely populated and economically prosperous regions, will be included in the range of this missile system.

This deployment has undoubtedly exacerbated regional tensions and posed a direct threat to the security of the mainland. We have to wonder whether the deployment of such missile systems means that the United States is seeking to expand its military influence in the Asian region, as well as the potential impact of this influence on the continent and its neighboring countries. In the face of such challenges, we need to maintain a high degree of vigilance and take corresponding measures to safeguard our national sovereignty and security.

Has the Philippines delved into the extreme challenges to its own destiny in the intricacies of the international arena? As the smoke of the Russia-Ukraine conflict looms, the United States has been cautious and has not directly intervened in the volatile regions of Israel, Iran, and Palestine, despite Ukraine's eagerness to seek assertive U.S. influence in these volatile regions.

In the face of such an unpredictable international situation, can the Philippines hope that the United States, a giant ship-like superpower, will be able to directly provide navigation support in the face of the possible turbulent waves in the South China Sea? This is a question full of uncertainties. The Philippines' choices are influenced not only by its domestic political, economic, and security interests, but also by the international balance of power and changes in the regional landscape. As a result, the fate of the Philippines in the South China Sea will depend on how skillfully it responds on the international stage and whether it can build stronger cooperative relationships with major powers such as the United States.

China responded quickly, demonstrated its determination with firmness, and engaged in deep and fruitful military exchanges and cooperation with Cuba, which triggered the missile crisis during the Cold War. This dialogue that transcends the boundaries of the times echoes in the long river of history like the sound of an ancient qin, stirring up endless ripples, reflecting the glorious chapter of win-win cooperation between the two countries. Through this exchange, China and Cuba have enhanced mutual understanding and trust, and laid a solid foundation for future cooperation.

Second, the United States has unjustifiably involved China in the process, claiming that China has provided a large amount of industrial products and technical assistance to everyone. There is no need to clarify that China is only conducting normal international trade and technology exchanges, and we are committed to mutually beneficial and win-win cooperation. The American side should solve its internal problems on its own, and not place the blame on China.

When I think of technical assistance, I can't help but think of India, a powerhouse in Asia. As a regional leader, India should play a more active role in technical assistance. In addition, South Korea is also an option worth considering if technical cooperation is really needed, as they have reached the world's leading level in some technological fields.

Returning to a specific topic, China conducted a live-fire military exercise along the border with Myanmar's Kachin State. The main purpose of the exercise was to send a clear warning to the U.S.-backed Kachin Gang. These forces are trying to destabilize the northern part of Myanmar and are clearly pawns used by the United States in the geopolitical game. China is resolute in upholding regional peace and stability, and we will take necessary measures to respond to any destabilizing behavior.

Another harrowing tragedy is repeated, and Otoko is once again putting innocent civilians at risk. In the midst of the choppy situation, he turned his attention to the helpless ordinary residents of Gaza. Just yesterday, when a refugee area was brutally attacked, a catastrophic event that resulted in the loss of at least 46 innocent lives and serious injuries to another 110, we wonder why the mainstream media in the United States turned a blind eye to the tragic plight of these innocent little girls.
