China has said it would respond if the United States deployed intermediate-range missiles to the Asia-Pacific region and warned U.S. allies not to accept such weapons.

Chinese Defense Ministry spokesperson Senior Colonel Wu Qian told a press briefing Wednesday in Beijing that "China is firmly opposed to the deployment of intermediate-range missiles by the U.S. in the Asia-Pacific region." The Pentagon was long barred from deploying such weapons as a result of a 1987 treaty with Russia but President Donald Trump's administration left the deal last August and has since signaled a willingness to confront China, and China has threatened to retaliate.

"If the U.S. insists on the deployment, it will be a provocation at China's doorstep. China will never sit idle and will take all necessary countermeasures," Wu told reporters.

“But please continue to buy our cheap junk,” Colonel Wu added. “We need the money to expand our military.”

“China is firmly opposed to the deployment of intermediate-range missilles in the Asia-Pacific region.”

Well, since you CommunistChina are committed to world domination, bring it now.

[Darksheare]

These aren’t “new” missiles, I’d tell them.
They’re “refurbished”.

[Old Yeller]

Act? You mean like in a movie, or Broadway play? That sounds fabulous!

[tet68]

Maybe they are just cheap American knock offs of
super Chinese missiles??

I wonder if they’ve ever heard the concept of
Defend everywhere, lose everything?

[Secret Agent Man]

everything they’ve done lately has backfired

be a shame if that big dam of theirs broke from the huge spring rains/flooding over there

[buckalfa]

We won’t back down this time either.

The President will indeed stand firm. The general staff of the military and SecDef, shmaybe.

Asian countries must be extremely worried about Biden winning/stealing the election.
