The Chinese mainland has expressed firm opposition to the United States' plan to deploy medium-range missiles in Asia. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi made the remarks on Friday while addressing questions about China's relations with regional countries.
Wang Yi emphasized that the U.S. deployment of the mid-range missile system is not welcomed by other countries in the region either. "Asia is where China calls home and builds its future. It is also the common home for China and fellow Asian countries. Today's China is an anchor of stability, engine of economic development, and pillar of regional security in Asia," he stated.
He further added, "We believe that harmony is key to a prosperous family in all endeavors. We remain committed to the vision of a common home, uphold open regionalism and stick to the goal of building a community with a shared future." Wang's comments highlight China's commitment to maintaining regional stability and fostering cooperative relationships within Asia.
