China calls for “right decision” on US missile defense in Korea

12

President of the People's Republic of China Xi Jinping called for a “right decision” regarding the presence of US missile defense elements on the Korean Peninsula. This was voiced during a bilateral summit with South Korean President Moon Jae In.

The leader of China at a meeting in Beijing recalled the THAAD batteries located in the central part of South Korea. China previously stated that this system could be used to monitor its military. Moon Jae In, in turn, told Xi Jinping that the position of the Republic of Korea was “unchanged,” and that he supported the US missile defense presence on the peninsula.



It is noteworthy that Moon proposed to suspend the deployment of THAAD during his 2017 presidential campaign, but then unexpectedly changed his mind after taking office as president of the country.

The advent of THAAD on the peninsula has sparked criticism from Russia and China. Moscow also expresses increased concern over the possible deployment by the United States of medium-range missiles in Asia.

In addition, the construction of Aegis Ashore complexes in Japan is planned. The fundamental political difference from THAAD in South Korea is that Tokyo itself plans to manage its part of the missile defense system, although it will be based on American technology.

      That is yes. Sometimes it seems to me that the Americans are paying him for it.

      But only one Korea wants to "measure", or rather "unite", the one that is North!
      Southerners are not very enthusiastic about the idea of ​​uniting with a neighbor, which they fought against in the 50s.

    Almost half of the foreign tourists in Kazakhstan are from the PRC .. Trade with China is almost a quarter of the country's trade.
    In general, we are waiting for "interesting" events.
    PS "Scheduled" inspections of South Korean firms are in full swing.

      It’s just that the president of South Korea remembered the fate of his predecessor, who was impeached after she doubted the need to deploy an American missile defense system.

    What vile hypocrisy on the part of China! Anyway, not so long ago, it was not China that was tied up to its ears in the "Korean question". Actually, it was the United States and not China that helped to get out of it! And China, could at least say thank you, to the same USA ... What a short memory people have.
