Why is China so upset about the Typhon missile system in the Philippines?
About this episode
Nearly nine years after the Philippines' legal victory over China in the West Philippine Sea, tensions remain high. Chinese ships are shadowing our coast guard, lasers are targeting our aircraft, and Filipino fishermen face constant harassment.
But this time, the Philippines isn't just protesting—it's bringing in reinforcements. Enter the Typhon missile system, a powerful U.S. weapon that has China on edge. Why? Because it's mobile, long-range, and stationed in Northern Luzon—right next to Taiwan.
In this episode, we break down what the Typhon system can do, why China sees it as a threat, and what this means for the Philippines, the U.S., and the region
Listen now to understand why this missile deployment could change the game in the West Philippine Sea.
