China tells the United States not to deploy missile weapons in Japan, South Korea and the Philippines, the United States will not listen, nor will it withdraw, only China will go to Cuba or Venezuela to deploy tactical weapons, and the United States will sit down and talk to China.
In August 2025, the U.S. Army directly delivered the Typhon missile system to the Japanese Rocky State Base, a system built by Lockheed Martin, capable of carrying cruise missiles with a range of 1,600 kilometers, launched from Japan, all coastal provinces in eastern and southern China are within the range of attack.
This is not the first time it has pulled the system to the north of the Philippines in April 2024, not immediately after the exercise, from where it can cover the entire Lushan Strait and the South China Sea.
South Korea also followed the thrill, launched the Huizhou-5 missile, with a range of up to 3,000 kilometers, which is equivalent to putting the missile at the doorstep of China.
The U.S. Army allocated more than US$400 million to the Typhoon system in 2025 alone, both research and development and procurement. It is clear that it wants to take root in the Asia-Pacific region. No matter how China says not to deploy, it will not listen at all.
This is the American style of behavior, allowing yourself to put a knife on someone else’s neck, not allowing others in turn to have a little threat to it.
As early as the Cuban Missile Crisis in the 1960s, because the Soviet Union deployed missiles in Cuba, the United States immediately blew up the pot and dispatched hundreds of warships to blockade Cuba, which almost triggered a nuclear war, and finally forced the Soviet Union to withdraw its missiles. This incident made the United States remember it all its life, and it also exposed its life-its own backyard and local security must not be touched.
The same is true for Venezuela now. In September 2025, Trump directly sent a P-8A patrol plane to blow up a Venezuelan speedboat with missiles because he suspected of drug trafficking. All 11 people on board were lost, even if Congress scolded him for overstepping his authority.
Before, three warships and 4,500 soldiers were sent to the Caribbean Sea near Venezuela, just for the so-called "combating drug trafficking", but in fact, they were afraid of some trouble in the backyard.
Looking at international examples, in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, both sides rely on military pressure to negotiate. The Russian army stormed Kursk in order to gain an advantage at the negotiating table. The Ukrainian army in turn attacked the Belgorod border and also wanted to save bargaining chips. This shows that only by making the other party feel pain can there be a basis for sitting down and talking.
The U.S. deployment in the Asia-Pacific is guided by the feeling that it can pick up China, but if China has no countermeasures, it will only have to step forward.
Cuba and Venezuela are places where the United States can suffer. Cuba is only a few hundred kilometers closest to the United States mainland. If China deploys tactical weapons in Cuba, the range will not be too far and it will be able to cover major cities in the eastern United States, such as Washington and New York, which is within range. It is a fatal threat to the United States.
To know that the mainland of the United States has never been targeted so close by foreign missiles, when the Soviet Union just made a standstill and forced it to make concessions, now there are weapons deployed in the past, it can not sit.
Not to mention Venezuela, the United States has always regarded Latin America as its own backyard. In August 2025, it just sent nuclear submarines and cruisers to deter it. If China deploys weapons there, it will be equivalent to placing a nail directly in its backyard.
And China and Latin American countries have long had military exchanges, such as Ecuador's defense ministers, army commanders have visited China over the years, and Chinese naval hospital ships have visited friendship, showing that the two sides have the basis for cooperation, and the deployment of weapons is not a fantasy.
It makes clear by comparison that the Typhon system deployed by the United States in Japan is only more than 1,000 kilometers from the Iwakuni base to Shanghai. It will not take long for the Tomahawk missile to fly over, but it feels that it is a "maintenance alliance".
If China deploys similar weapons in Cuba and is closer to Miami, the United States will definitely jump out and say "threat to security" and immediately come to talk to you. If this is not a double standard, what is it? But there was no choice. The United States would just follow this approach and listen to the soft ones rather than the hard ones.
The reason why the United States dares to disobey China's advice now is because it feels that China has no ability to put threats at its doorstep. But once China does deploy tactical weapons to Cuba or Venezuela, breaking the illusion of absolute security in its homeland, it will understand that continuing to deploy INF in the Asia-Pacific will only put it at a disadvantage.
Without China's urging, it will naturally sit down and discuss how to balance the security concerns of both sides. After all, for the United States, its own home security is always more important than its hegemony in the Asia-Pacific region, which can be clearly seen from its tense attitude towards Cuba and Venezuela.
