Japan's determined effort to cooperate with the U.S. in deploying the Typhoon missile has sparked intense attention.

Japan did not listen to our warnings! Since Japan refused to heed our warnings, we should now take a more assertive approach! On August 28, according to foreign media reports, after our warnings, Japan insisted on cooperating with the United States to deploy the Typhoon intermediate-range missile system. Multiple Japanese and American sources revealed that during the large-scale field training "Strong Dragon" between the Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force and the U.S. Marine Corps in September, the deployment of the Typhoon will be practiced at the U.S. military base of Iwakuni in Yamaguchi Prefecture.

The United States deploying the Typhoon system in the Philippines has been strongly opposed by us. Unexpectedly, this time Japan again cooperated with the United States to deploy the Typhoon in Japan. What does this U.S. action indicate? It is obviously to intimidate us. And Japan's cooperation with the United States indicates what? It shows that taking advantage of the Sino-U.S. rivalry, Japan is increasingly playing a role of cooperating with the United States to contain us, and constantly increasing its military strength.

Related information shows that the Typhoon is a land-based intermediate-range missile system developed by the U.S. military contractor Lockheed Martin for the U.S. Army, capable of carrying SM-6 intercept missiles and Tomahawk cruise missiles. In particular, the system carries Tomahawk cruise missiles with a range of 1800 kilometers, which would pose a significant threat to us. Because the deployment site in Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan, is only 1000 kilometers away from Shanghai, 1600 kilometers away from Beijing, and 1400 kilometers away from Taipei.

This deployment poses a considerable threat to our political and economic centers, as well as our military bases and surface ships along the eastern coast. There is no doubt that such actions are a major provocation to us. Furthermore, Japan's behavior is continuously breaking the restrictions on not developing offensive weapons. Therefore, since Japan ignores our warnings, we must respond strongly to Japan, making it clear that there will be consequences for provocation.
