《环球时报》记者：24日，菲律宾防长特奥多罗发表声明称，在联合演习背景下，美在菲部署“堤丰”中导正当合法。菲是主权国家，不是任何国家的“家门口”，部署和采购国防安全相关物资属于菲主权权利，不接受外国反对。菲根据所谓“综合群岛防御计划”提升防御能力，是基于自身国家利益和独立外交政策，不针对特定国家，而是针对安全威胁和挑战。中方在批评菲发展军力之际，自身不断增强核武和弹道导弹能力。中方对此有何评论？

Global Times: In a statement released on December 24, the Philippine Defence Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro, Jr. said the deployment of US Typhon mid-range missile system to the Philippines in the context of joint exercises is legitimate and legal. The Philippines is a sovereign state, not any country’s “doorstep.” Any deployment and procurement of assets related to the Philippines’ security and defense fall within its own sovereign prerogative and are not subject to any foreign veto. The enhancement of Philippine defense capabilities in accordance with the so-called Comprehensive Archipelagic Defense Concept (CADC) is undertaken on the basis of the Philippines’ own national interest and in accordance with its independent foreign policy. It is not targeted against specific countries. Instead, it is targeted against security threats, and challenges. He added that while China is criticizing the capability development of the Philippines, they are continuously building up their nuclear arsenal and ballistic missile capability. What’s China’s comment?

毛宁：关于美国在菲律宾部署中程导弹问题，中方已多次阐明坚决反对立场。我要强调的是，“堤丰”中导系统核常兼备，不是防御性武器，而是战略性、进攻性武器。菲方配合美方引入“堤丰”，将自身安全和国防拱手于人，把地缘对抗和军备竞赛风险引入域内，对地区和平安全构成实质性威胁，这样的行为究竟是基于谁的利益？又何谈独立外交？这是典型的害人害己。

Mao Ning: Regarding the US deployment of Mid-Range Capability (MRC) missile system in the Philippines, China has stated its firm opposition on multiple occasions. Let me stress that the Typhon MRC missile system can carry either conventional or nuclear warheads. It is not a defensive weapon, but a strategic and offensive one. The Philippines has worked with the US to bring in the Typhon system. It’s placing its national security and defense in the hands of others, introducing geopolitical confrontation and risk of arms race into the region and posing a real threat to regional peace and security. Whose interest does this move serve? How could anyone believe this is independent foreign policy? What the Philippines is doing benefits no one.

菲方曾明确作出承诺，不会在大国间选边站队，不会参与任何不利于中国的行动，无意引发地区局势紧张。但菲方言犹在耳，却一再迎合域外势力在本地区部署军力、挑动对抗。菲方曾公开表示“堤丰”系统仅用于一次例行演习，承诺今年9月演习结束就会撤走，但随后便改称希望永久部署“堤丰”系统，甚至准备购买该系统。这是典型的言而无信、背信弃义。

The Philippines once clearly promised that it will not choose sides between major countries, not engage in any activities that will harm China’s interest and doesn’t intend to incite tensions in the region. Despite these clear promises, however, the Philippines has helped country outside the region deploy military forces and stoke confrontation in the region. The Philippines said openly that the Typhon system was only used during Balikatan and Salaknib exercises and will be shipped out of the country in September following the military exercises. But then the Philippine side went back on its word, saying they would like to have the Typhon here in the Philippines forever and even plan to acquire the systems. This is a deliberate breach of the Philippines’ own words.

当前究竟是谁不断在南海挑衅生事，是谁在配合域外势力炫耀武力，又是谁在打着国际法的旗号行违法之实，地区国家都看得清清楚楚。我们再次奉劝菲方，维护本国安全的唯一正确选择是坚持战略自主、坚持睦邻友好、坚持和平发展。我们再次敦促菲方，正视地区各国呼声，履行此前公开承诺，尽快撤走中导系统，不要一错再错。菲方个别人士应当端正认识、反躬自省，不要再上演颠倒是非、倒打一耙的拙劣戏码。

Who’s been making provocations and stirring up trouble in the South China Sea? Who’s been cooperating with external forces to flex muscle? Who’s broken the international law and yet claims to uphold it? The answer is quite clear to countries in the region. We once again urge the Philippines to bear in mind that the only right way to safeguard national security is to uphold strategic independence, good-neighborliness and friendship, and peaceful development. We once again call on the Philippines to heed the call of regional countries, quickly pull out the missile system as publicly pledged, and stop aggravating its wrongful act. Some individuals in the Philippines need to correct their understanding, reflect on their own words and deeds, and stop inverting the truth and pretending to be the victim.

我们正告菲方，中方绝不会坐视自身安全利益受到危害或威胁，如果菲方一意孤行，必将搬起石头砸自己脚。

Our message to the Philippines: China will not sit on its hands when its security interests are in danger or under threat. The Philippines will be hurting its own interests if it keeps refusing to change course.
