The U.S.-made Typhon missile launcher is a weapon not before seen in the Indo-Pacific, and the U.S. Army is calling its arrival in the Philippines a landmark in regional capacity. Analysts say its presence sends a signal the U.S. can put offensive weaponry well within striking distance of Chinese installations in the South China Sea, China proper and along the Taiwan Strait. Beijing says it increases “misjudgment and miscalculation” and that Washington is seeking a “unilateral advantage.”

    Philippine should support and recognize Taiwan’s independence! One China policy is the biggest joke of the century! 😂

    What's the difference what china is doing? They build military bases in the islands that belong to the Philippines. They also have installed missiles and runways. They illegally occupied those islands that are legally belong to the Philippines. So we also have the right to put up defenses facing enemy who are threatening our way of life and our teritory.

    our army is far more better than china army. Philippine army is one of the most active army in the world when it comes to battle. avoiding chinas aggressive actions in west Philippine sea. doesn't mean we are afraid. no where not afraid.
