lin jian pointed out that in recent years, the united states has been determined to promote military deployment, including the intermediate-range missile system, in the asia-pacific region in order to seek absolute military superiority. this move will intensify the momentum of the arms race, seriously increase tensions in the region, threaten regional peace and security, and undermine global strategic balance and stability.

lin jian said that china has repeatedly stated its solemn opposition. we urge the us to abandon the relevant deployment plan and advise relevant countries to be aware of the real intentions of the us, be cautious in words and deeds in the field of military security, and take practical actions to maintain regional and international peace and stability. china will pay close attention to relevant developments and resolutely safeguard its own security interests.
