Summary

Machine summary

Kadena Town Mayor Toyama Hiroshi traveled to the Okinawa Defense Bureau on September 28 to formally protest the Japanese Ministry of Defense's announced plan to transfer the U.S. Typhon mid-range missile system from Kanoya Air Base in Kagoshima Prefecture to Kadena Air Base before mid-October, submitting a written demand for withdrawal of the plan. Toyama's stated concern — that the absence of a storage deadline risks converting temporary storage into permanent deployment — documents the political friction inside Japan that the Typhon's rotational presence is generating, distinct from the external protests from neighboring countries the article also notes. Xinhua's coverage frames the local opposition prominently, consistent with Chinese state media's pattern of amplifying Japanese domestic resistance to U.S. force posture changes in the region.

新华社东京9月28日电（记者陈泽安 蓝建中）日本冲绳县嘉手纳町町长当山宏28日前往日本防卫省冲绳防卫局，就美国“堤丰”中程导弹系统拟存放于嘉手纳基地一事提出抗议。 据日本共同社报道，当山向防卫省冲绳防卫局递交了要求撤回此项计划的请求书，并表示该计划无视町民感受、荒谬至极，绝对无法接受。 当山指出，由于未明确存放期限，他担心这可能会转变为永久性的正式部署。 防卫省冲绳防卫局25日在其官网公布，拟于10月中旬前撤走目前部署在日本鹿儿岛县鹿屋航空基地的美国“堤丰”导弹系统，将其存放在嘉手纳基地。 共同社此前报道称，“堤丰”导弹系统可发射“战斧”巡航导弹，该导弹系统为配合日本和美国等国参加的联合演习而被部署在鹿屋航空基地。 此前，在日本部署“堤丰”导弹系统已引发周边国家强烈抗议。
