China has reiterated its opposition to the deployment of a US missile system in South Korea.Foreign Ministry Spokesman, Lu Kang, says his country is against the installation of the THAAD missile system in its backyard. His remark came after a meeting between US Defense Secretary, James Mattis, and his South Korean counterpart, Han Minkoo, in Seoul. In the meeting, the two sides agreed to deploy the THAAD missile system this year as planned. Washington and Seoul say the move is merely aimed at countering what they call North Korea’s missile threat. However, the measure has enraged China, which has already asked the US and South Korea to address its security concerns.
