国防部敦促有关方面立即撤走“堤丰”中导系统

The MND Urges the Relevant Parties to Withdraw Typhon Mid-range Missile System Immediately

11月28日下午，国防部举行例行记者会，国防部新闻局局长、国防部新闻发言人吴谦大校答记者问。

记者：据外媒报道，菲律宾防长近日称，菲方正在考虑从美国购买“堤丰”中程导弹发射系统。请问中方对此有何评论？

Question: According to foreign media reports, the Philippine defense minister recently said that the Philippine side was considering purchasing Typhon mid-range missile system from the US. May I have your comment, please.

吴谦：关于美国在菲律宾部署中导，中方已多次阐明了坚决反对的立场。中导是进攻性武器。菲方配合美方引入中导，将直接挑动地缘对抗，推升地区紧张局势，这绝不是菲律宾一家的私事，而是关乎本地区所有国家的共同安危。历史和现实反复证明，美军武器部署到哪里，哪里战乱冲突的风险就会升高，哪里的人民就会承受不应承受的战争苦难。

Wu Qian: China has repeatedly expressed our firm opposition to US deployment of mid-range missile system in the Philippines. The mid-range missile system is an offensive weapon. Accepting US deployment of the system by the Philippine side has intensified geopolitical confrontation and escalated tensions in the region. It is by no means a matter of the Philippine side itself, but hinges on the common security of regional countries. History and reality have repeatedly proven that where there are US weapons deployed, there will be higher risk of conflicts, inflicting underserved sufferings on the local people.

亚太地区是各国携手合作的大舞台，不应成为地缘博弈的角斗场。我们敦促有关方面立即撤走“堤丰”中导系统，如果美菲一意孤行，中方必将坚决反制。

The Asia-pacific is a grand stage for peace and development, not a wrestling ground for geopolitical rivalry. We urge the relevant parties to withdraw the Typhon mid-range missile system immediately. If the US and the Philippines insist on heading down the wrong path, the Chinese side will take resolute countermeasures.
