Philippines plans to buy US missile launcher, likely to anger China

The Philippines is planning to buy a US missile launcher, in a move that is likely to anger China.

Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte has said that he wants to buy a new missile launcher from the US, which will significantly bolster the country’s military capabilities.

The US has offered to sell the Philippines a land-based anti-ship missile system, which can be used to defend against ships and aircraft.

China has warned the Philippines that it will not tolerate any military build-up in the South China Sea.

China claims most of the South China Sea, and has been building military facilities on artificial islands in the area.

The Philippines, along with several other countries, has overlapping claims in the South China Sea.

Experts say that the sale of the missile launcher to the Philippines could escalate tensions between the US and China.

The US has been increasing its military presence in the South China Sea in recent years, and has conducted several freedom of navigation patrols in the area.

China has responded by accusing the US of militarizing the South China Sea.

The sale of the missile launcher to the Philippines is likely to further increase tensions between the US and China.

It could also lead to an arms race in the South China Sea, as other countries in the region may feel the need to beef up their own militaries.
