Foreign Ministry Spokesman Guo Jiakun presided over a regular press conference on September 21. Some reporters asked questions. A Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman said on the 18th that it had consulted Japan regarding the US deployment of the “Tsutsumi” intermediate missile system in Kyushu, Japan, stressing that the relevant deployment was unacceptable and urging Japan to fully acknowledge the results of World War II and stop “re-militarization.” The Chinese side also recently expressed concern over this note to Japan. Can the Chinese side confirm and explain the situation? Guo Jiakun said that the “Typhon” central missile system is a strategic offensive weapon, and Japan's introduction of this system is yet another proof that it is speeding up “re-militarization.” This move increases the risk of military confrontation and arms races, threatens strategic balance and regional stability, and harms the legitimate security interests of neighboring countries. The international community is highly alert to this, and many people in Asia have voiced their opposition. The Chinese side has repeatedly made strong protests to Japan through diplomatic channels, and recently confirmed Japan's solemn position in a note.
