US sends land-attack missile system to Philippines for exercises in apparent message to China | CNN
edition.cnn.com
China has accused the United States of “stoking military confrontation” with the recent deployment of a powerful missile launcher capable of firing weapons with a range of up to 1,600 kilometers to exercises in the Philippines.

After unilaterally withdrawing from the INF treaty in 2019, US is the first country to develop and now deploy weapons prohibited under the treaty in the Philippines this year. It's now clear the US sought to withdraw so it could develop and deploy prohibited weapons against China.

      Taiwan was never in danger in the first place. The CPC was saying shit to appease their own nationalists and western media spun it as "China gonna attack anytime now". If you don't trust me look at the effect of China's threats on Taiwan's stock market.

      Recently they said they would kill taiwanese independence diehards or whatever and nobody cared. Trade with China continues.
