Ministry of National Defense Denounces US Deployment of Mid-Range Missile System to the Philippines: Those who Invite Wolves into the House will Get Bitten

5月30日下昼，国防部举行例行记者会，国防部新闻局局长、国防部新闻发言东谈主吴谦大校答记者问。

记者：据报谈，好意思军近期将“堤丰”辐射系统运抵菲律宾插足聚拢军演。有分析称，此举是好意思“印太策略”的紧要一环，针对中国的意图极端彰着。请教中方对此有何评述？

Question: The US military recently deployed the Typhon Mid-Range Capability missile system to the Philippines for joint exercises. Some analysts believe that this is an important part of the US Indo-Pacific Strategy and is obviously targeted at China. What’s your comment， please?

吴谦：近期，好意思方以演习为由在菲律宾部署中程导弹系统。这是冷战适度以来，好意思方初次在国外和亚太地区部署中导，亦然好意思方2019年退出《中导契约》后初次部署此类兵器。好意思菲作念法将扫数地区置于好意思炮火之下，将广阔干戈风险带入域内，严重冲击地区安全神气，严重碎裂地区和平踏实，中方对此高度警惕、顽强反对。

Wu Qian: The US side recently deployed a Mid-Range Capability (MRC) missile system to the Philippines under the excuse of military exercises. This is the first time the US has deployed a mid-range missile system overseas and to the Asia-Pacific since the end of the Cold War. It’s also the first time the US has deployed such kind of weapon since it withdrew from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF) in 2019. What the US and the Philippines did has put the whole Asia-Pacific region under the threat of US weaponry. Such moves cause great risk of war and will seriously impact the security architecture and undermine peace and stability in the region. The Chinese side is highly vigilant against and firmly opposed to this.

中导是极具冷战颜色的策略性、勤快性兵器。好意思方此举是开历史倒车，饱读舞阵营抵挡，强化军事同盟，挤压异国安全空间，将进一步突破地区策略均衡，制造新的垂危对立。菲律宾将我方绑上好意思国战车，严重背离手脚东友邦家的基本准则，严重违背《东盟宪章》精神，严重碎裂《东南亚友好勾搭契约》原则，冲击东盟主导的地区勾搭架构。“引狗入寨”定将反噬自己，“火中取栗”必定自食苦果。咱们条件好意思菲尊重地区国度安全柔和，立即住手上述危机活动。

The mid-range missile system is a strategic and offensive weapon reminiscent of the Cold War. The US attempts to turn back the wheel of history， provokes bloc confrontation今天新闻头条新闻， strengthens military alliance， and squeezes the security space of other countries. This will break strategic balance in the region and create new tension and antagonism. The Philippines chooses to tie itself onto the US chariot， which severely deviates from the guiding principles for ASEAN countries， severely violates the spirit of the ASEAN Charter， severely undercuts the principles of the Treaty of Amity and Cooperation in Southeast Asia， and undermines the ASEAN-led architecture of regional cooperation. Those who invite wolves into their house will get bitten and those who pull chestnuts out of fire for others can only get themselves burnt. We urge the US and the Philippines to respect the security concerns of regional countries and immediately stop these dangerous acts.
