That was \u201cnot conducive to regional nuclear non-proliferation and stability, and will cause an extremely negative impact on the global strategic balance,\u201d Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome countries or blocs in the region, on the pretext of the North Korea nuclear threat, have unilaterally set up anti-missile systems or conduct bloc cooperation (with the United States),\u201d Hong said.<\/p>\n<p>The comments came after the governor of Japan\u2019s Kyoto region, where the radar will be based, endorsed it last week. The facility will be staffed by as many as 160 U.S. service members and civilian contractors.
