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

The U.S. deployment of the mid-range missile system is also not welcomed by regional countries, 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, an engine of economic development, and a 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.
