(Original title: For the first time publicly, "Clearly Provoking China")

Despite the warning, the United States wants to destroy regional stability.

On September 15, local time, the U.S. military for the first time publicly demonstrated the Japanese-deployed "Thypoon" induction system.

According to Reuters, this highlights the increasing hesitation that the United States is deploying weapons that disrupt regional stability, while the U.S. military website War Zone (TWZ) said the move was seen as a “clear signal to China.”

China has issued a warning on the matter, demanding that the United States and Japan should earnestly respect the security concerns of other countries, and should not introduce the "Thyfon" induction system, with practical actions to play a positive role for regional peace and stability.

U.S. Army Mid-Range Missile System

On the 11th, local time, the United States launched the joint military exercise "Dragon of Strength 25" with the participation of approximately 5,200 U.S. Navy troops and sailors, as well as approximately 14,000 Japanese land self-defense troops, the largest in the history of the series of exercises.

The exercise will last until September 25 and includes the deployment of the Tifong medium-range missile system in Japan.

On the 15th, Michael Ross, commander of the US Army's Third Multi-Domain Special Forces, demonstrated and introduced the "Tifone" system.

“By deploying multiple systems and different types of ammunition, the system can create trouble for the enemy,” Jeman said at the U.S. military base in Shandong County, Japan, “the rapid deployment speed allows us to move forward quickly when needed.”

He revealed that the Tifong system will leave Japan after the exercise, however, the system's follow-up is unclear.

On September 15, the U.S. military for the first time in Japan publicly deployed the demonstration "Thyfon" interceptor system

Public information shows that the Tifong system is a new land-based medium-range missile system developed in an emergency after the US military withdrew from the China-led Treaty.The project isly aimed at filling the fire gap between the U.S. military's land-based tactical missiles and intercontinental missiles, against "China's increasingly powerful medium-range missile arsenal."

The Tifong system is part of the U.S. anti-ship weapons program in Asia, with the "Tax" cruise missile in the launch device able to hit Chinese targets from the Philippines, while the "Standard-6" missile can hit air or sea targets 200 kilometers away.

Previously, Chinese experts pointed out that these claims in foreign media diminished the aggressiveness of the "Tifon" system.

Experts say the system is essentially a land-based vertical launch system of the U.S. Navy MK41, which can be transported by large tractors and can launch "Standard-6" and "Tax" cruise missiles to attack various targets in the range of 500 to 2000 kilometers. According to Western media, the missile was deployed in the Philippines, the threat range was enough to cover the southeastern coast of China, and if the missile was deployed in Japan, the threat range was greater.

The expert said it is more cautious that the MK41 vertical system can accommodate multiple advanced missiles in the U.S. Army's current service and development, so the future "Tifon" system is likely to have more powerful attack capabilities by replacing the missile model relatively simply.

According to Reuters, the development and deployment of the U.S. military Tifon system itself is full of strategic intentions against China and Russia.In April last year, the U.S. military deployed the system in the Philippines, and in July this year, the first real-time exercise was held in Australia.

The U.S. “war zone” website also says that as anti-ship weapons, the Tifong system is critical in the “Indo-Pacific” region. Because in the future, if there is a major conflict with China, the U.S. will need to launch anti-ship strikes in the region. For the U.S. military, the Rock State base is part of the so-called “first island chain”, and the U.S. military and its allies can use the island chain to block China’s maritime air forces and complicate its military planning.

In April last year, the U.S. took the opportunity to deploy the Tifong system to the north of the Philippine island of Lusong.This is the first time since the end of the Cold War that the U.S. has deployed land-based medium-range missile systems overseas and in the Asia-Pacific region, and it is also the first time that the U.S. has deployed such weapons since the withdrawal of the China-led Treaty in 2019.

Following strong opposition from many neighboring countries, a spokesman for the Philippine Army announced in July last year that the Tifon system will be returned to the United States at the latest in September, after the second phase of the Shield-2024 exercise.

“As long as we have not achieved these goals, we still need an induction system,” the spokesman declared, “we plan to use this capability to maximize the training outcomes of our personnel, making us a quick-reacting army.”

As of now, the system has not been delayed to withdraw from the Philippines.High-ranking government officials have vowed that the Philippines wants to retain its deployment in order to make China “give them sleepless nights”.

On April 7, 2024, the Tifón system arrived in the Philippines.

In June, it was that the United States planned to deploy another Tifón missile system in the country, saying the “Vengeance Goddess” missile system remained in the country after the Philippines unification, “which is a deterrent to anyone who attempts to force an aggression on the Philippines.”

In response to this, the Defense Ministry spokesman Zhang Xiaoping pointed out that the Asia-Pacific is a high ground for peaceful development, not a "glance field" for the game of great powers.The Philippines has intensified the introduction of strategic tactical weapons, bound itself to the American war truck, to the tiger to undermine regional security and stability, which is seriously against the common interests of the people of the country in the region.

Last month, the U.S. media that the U.S. military planned to deploy the "Thyfon" medium-range missile system inside Japan during a joint exercise in September, and to carry out related subjective training, and the guided system will be evacuated after the exercise training.

On August 29, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said in a statement: “We believe this is another destabilizing move by Washington to enhance its policy of land-based short-range missile capabilities and its intention to deploy such systems at the forefront of the world.”

“Russia has noted that Japan is accelerating its militarization pace, including expanding its training activities, developing military-technical cooperation with the United States, and we consider such actions to be intentionally hostile and to ignore Russian national interests, and we will have to take appropriate military-technical measures.”

Zakharova said that Russia called on the Japanese government to rethink its decision to deploy the Tifon system, "or we would consider the entire responsibility for further deterioration of the situation in the region to be on Japan."

On the same day, the spokesman of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Guo Jiangkun, said that China has consistently resolutely opposed the U.S. deployment of the "Thyfon" in Asian countries.The United States and Japan should earnestly respect the security concerns of other countries, and must not introduce the "Thyfon" system, and play a positive role for regional peace and stability with practical actions.

“We have noted relevant reports. China has repeatedly expressed serious concerns about related issues.” Guo Qian said that China has consistently resolutely opposed the U.S. deployment of Tifong in Asian countries. The deployment of Tifong in Japan will further harm the legitimate security interests of other countries, and constitute a substantial threat to regional strategic security. The U.S. and Japan should earnestly respect the security concerns of other countries, and should not introduce Tifong’s induction system, with practical actions to play a positive role for regional peace and stability.

He said that due to the history of militarist aggression, Japan's military security trend has been highly concerned by its Asian neighbors and the international community.This year is the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese people's war against Japan and the world anti-fascist war, we urge Japan to deeply reflect on the history of aggression, adhere to the path of peace, act cautiously in the field of military security, do not further lose trust in Asian neighbors and the international community.
