China's Biggest Targets Now in Striking Distance - Does Trump Have Beijing in Checkmate?
A U.S. missile system positioned in the Philippines places key Chinese military and commercial sites in striking range, sending a message that the U.S. will stand by its allies in the region.
The Wall Street Journal recently reported, “Last year, the U.S. Army moved the Typhon Missile System, which can fire missiles as far as 1,200 miles, to a base on Luzon Island in the northern Philippines. It is the first time since the Cold War that the U.S. military has deployed a land-based launching system with such a long range outside its borders.
“The Chinese government has responded to the Typhon’s deployment with alarm, rebuking the U.S. and the Philippines for fueling what it called an arms race,” the Journal added.
