China warns of countermeasures if U.S. puts missiles on its 'doorstep'

BEIJING - China threatened countermeasures on Tuesday if the United States deploys intermediate-range, ground-based missiles in Asia and warned U.S. allies of repercussions if they allow such weapons on their territory.

Washington formally pulled out last week from the Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces Treaty, a 1987 pact with the former Soviet Union that banned ground-launched nuclear and conventional ballistic and cruise missiles with ranges of 500-5,000 km . “If the U.S. deploys missiles in this part of the world, at the doorstep of China, China will be forced to take countermeasures,” Fu told reporters.

Fu did not specify how China would respond but said “everything will be on the table” if U.S. allies made allowances for the missiles. Esper and other Trump administration officials have accused China of aggressive behaviour that is destabilising the Indo-Pacific region. The war of words over missile deployment in Asia has raised concerns about an arms race in the region.

From Currency wars to Trade wars to Shooting wars. Just like JamesGRickards predicts.

🤔 space is less than a door steep away.

It's interesting to see how many fronts will China be able to cope with.

Da Nang Viet Nam would be the best location. That way we can de-escalate tension in South China Sea.

war games, let the games begin

Careful white guys, dont start some shit we all cant finish _

May be there are already missiles like items at the door step which are undetected by the china.

Well, fortunately, any missiles on Australian soil will by under Australia control. And we aren't on China doorstep!

Anyone heard this song and dance before? How many days are there in October?

They should indeed then put be put into place.

Russias pissed too. Someone tell esper to stop

Whatever Mao 2.0

Twin thumb tweet twattack.

China can't do shit. They should have realized that before they built easy to destroy islands

Lmao, what are they going to do? They have problems in Tibet, Xinjiang, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan.. they are preoccupied with regions that no longer want to be under the Communist Party's rule.

Trump better not try stunts with China... .
