China slammed the bilateral decision between Seoul and Washington to deploy America’s most advanced missile-defense system to South Korea, by saying the move has spurred long-term consequences.
“The recent behavior from South Korea has undermined the foundation for our bilateral trust,” Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said, quoted by Yonhap.
China’s foreign ministry released a statement saying that Seoul should think twice about THAAD’s deployment to Seongju and consider the value of maintaining a positive relationship with Beijing, Reuters reports.
Similarly, Fan Changlong, one of the vice chairmen of the Chinese Central Military Commission, told US National Security Adviser Susan Rice that THAAD deployment will only worsen the Korean peninsula.
