China on Wednesday warned that Donald Trump's "Golden Dome" missile shield system "undermines global stability", after the US president announced $25 billion in initial funding for the plan.
"This undermines global strategic balance and stability. China expresses serious concern over this. We urge the United States to abandon the development and deployment of a global missile defence system as soon as possible," foreign ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said at a regular news briefing.
