The United States and South Korea have begun talks on possible deployment of the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system after North Korea tested its fourth nuclear bomb on January 6 and conducted missile tests. The nuclear test and missile launches are in violation of U.N. resolutions against North Korea backed by Russia and China. U.S. and South Korean officials have expressed concern that the North could attempt a fifth nuclear test in a show of strength ahead of its Workers' Party congress, which begins on May 6. North Korea test-fired what appeared to be two intermediate range ballistic missiles on Thursday, but both failed, the U.S. military said. Speaking at joint press briefing with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said the United States should respect "legitimate concerns" of China and Russia over the missile system. "This move goes beyond the defensive needs of the relevant countries. If it is deployed it will directly impact China's and Russia's respective strategic security," Wang said. "Not only does it threaten the resolution of the peninsula nuclear issue, it quite possibly could pour oil on the fire of an already tense situation, and even destroy strategic equilibrium on the peninsula." North Korea's actions should not be used as an excuse to make moves that would escalate tensions, especially the U.S. deployment of an anti-missile system, Lavrov said, according to an interpretation in Chinese. North Korea's drive to develop a nuclear weapons capability has angered China, Pyongyang's sole major diplomatic and economic supporter. But Beijing fears THAAD and its radar have a range that would extend far beyond the Korean peninsula and into China. Chinese President Xi Jinping said on Thursday that Beijing would not allow war and chaos to break out on the Korean peninsula. North and South Korea remain technically at war after their 1950-53 conflict ended in a truce, rather than a treaty.

Zoharariel:Your Russia and China know the capabilities of a THAAD deployments in the Korean Peninsula.THAAD can see way into Chinese hinterlands,any country with an active missile program won't want a MDS close its borders at all and China and Russia have expressed frustrations at the eventuality of THAAD being deployed. Of course do not trust the United States,THAAD is the perfect cover to build a defense observation outpost that can link up directly with US spy satelites over China and monitor Missile activities in Russia and China.Afterall Russia deployed their own defense observation outpost in the Arctic as a protest to NORAD who says America shouldn't with an open invitation ![]() |
