🇨🇳China has strongly criticized the United States' proposed "Golden Dome" missile defense system, asserting that it undermines global strategic stability and risks militarizing outer space.

On May 21, 2025, China's foreign ministry urged the U.S. to abandon the development and deployment of the Golden Dome system. Beijing contends that such initiatives disrupt the strategic balance and could trigger an arms race, particularly in space. China emphasizes the inseparable link between strategic offensive and defensive weapons, warning that neglecting this relationship threatens international security.
