The Philippines says it plans to acquire the U.S. Typhon missile system as part of a push to secure its maritime interests.

The Typhon system was deployed in the Philippines earlier this year for joint military exercises with its longtime ally.

The presence of the missile launcher had angered Beijing , whose navy and coast guard forces have engaged in confrontations with the Philippines over disputed reefs and waters in the South China Sea .

China condemns the move as a "provocative and dangerous move" and warns it risks triggering an "arms race".
