The Philippine Missile Crisis: U.S. Deployed Arms to the Philippines and No One Noticed But China
So China are the one that should do the role of bully in territorial dispute and if US, Philippines close ally, butt in, it's very terribad and is called an escalation.
China destroying coral reefs, violating air spaces, attacking fishing boats: ✅
US installing air defenses: 💣💩💥
When the US stationed missiles in Turkiye and Italy, which could reach the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union returned the friendly gesture with stationing missiles in Cuba.
Somehow in the west this is know as "Cuba missile crisis" and not as "Turkiye missile crisis" despite the US having started it.

Arguably these were nuclear missiles, which is a level further, but the Typhon launchers are also nuclear capable.
I have no doubts that the US would react in a similar fashion if Russia or China were to station comparable systems in Central America again.
If china doesn't want any of this, then they should stop bullying SEA. In this case, as a south east asian, i stand by my opinion, china and the anti-west sentiment can go eat a cock for all i care.
And stop calling this escalation, china has been doing that for quite a while now.
