FM: China firmly opposes U.S. deployment of medium-range missiles in Asia

China firmly opposes U.S. deployment of medium-range missiles in Asia, said Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Friday when answering questions on relations with regional countries.

The U.S. deployment of mid-range missile systems is not welcomed by regional countries either, added Wang.

"Asia is where China calls home and builds its future. It is also the common home for China and fellow Asian countries. Today's China is an anchor of stability, engine of economic development, and pillar of regional security in Asia," said Wang.

"We believe that harmony is key to a prosperous family in all endeavors. We remain committed to the vision of a common home, uphold open regionalism and stick to the goal of building a community with a shared future," he added.
