        "content": "<p>Tokyo (ANTARA) \u2014 China has expressed strong opposition to the\ndeployment of United States mid-range missile systems in Japan, saying\nthe move threatens regional security and raises the risk of military\nconfrontation and an arms race. \u2018The move undermines peace and stability\nin the region in all respects,\u2019 said Chinese Foreign Ministry\nspokesperson Guo Jiakun at a press briefing on Friday. Guo\u2019s remarks\nwere made when asked for comment on reports that the U.S. military\nplanned to deploy Typhon mid-range missile launchers in southwestern\nJapan for joint exercises from June to September. In Tokyo, Japan\u2019s\nMinistry of Defence stated that the Typhon system and the High Mobility\nArtillery Rocket System (HIMARS) would be stationed at Kanoya Air Base\nof the Japan Maritime Self-Defence Force in Kagoshima Prefecture during\nthe Japan-US joint drills, as a step apparently intended to counter\nChina. The Typhon launcher is capable of firing Tomahawk cruise missiles\nwith a range of about 1,600 kilometres, as well as SM-6 interceptor\nmissiles with a range of more than 300 kilometres. Meanwhile, HIMARS can\ncarry up to six rockets or one Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS)\nwith a range of around 300 kilometres. The ministry noted that after the\njoint drills were completed, the Typhon and HIMARS systems would be\nmoved to U.S. military bases in Japan.<\/p>",
