BEIJING, Aug. 29 (Xinhua) — The United States and Japan should respect the security interests of others, refrain from deploying the Typhon missile system, and take real actions to promote regional peace and stability, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said Friday.
The diplomat made the corresponding statement at a regular departmental press briefing, commenting at the request of a journalist on media reports that during the upcoming joint exercises in Japan, scheduled for September, the American military plans to deploy the Typhon medium-range missile system on Japanese territory and conduct corresponding training, after which the missile system will be dismantled.
"China has repeatedly expressed serious concerns on relevant issues. China has consistently opposed the deployment of the Typhon medium-range missile system by the United States in Asian countries," Guo Jiakun said.
According to him, the deployment of the Typhon system in Japan would further damage the legitimate security interests of other countries and create a significant threat to regional strategic security.
As Guo Jiakun noted, due to Japan's history of militaristic aggression, the country's military and security actions are the subject of close attention from its Asian neighbors and the international community.
The official representative of the Chinese Foreign Ministry also recalled that this year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War.
“We urge Japan to deeply reflect on its history of aggression, unwaveringly pursue the path of peace, exercise restraint in its military and security-related remarks and actions, and refrain from further steps that could undermine the trust of its Asian neighbors and the international community,” he said.
“We also call on the United States to learn from history and direct its energy and resources to doing the right thing, not the other way around,” Guo Jiakun concluded. –0–
