The deployment site is still under discussion. However, Defense Ministry spokesman made it clear that they would ignore concerns raised by neighboring countries when it comes to picking a deployment site. This remark is basically aimed at China, which has been making a lot of noise against the deployment.
P!
China should take care of South Korea
Merkel and Obama will take the refugees. Damn, that just might be true!
Ah, most impolite of you not to expose your neck to our irrational lunatic friend here.

Tough noodles, China.
Do something about the nutcase in North Korea,then maybe we’ll talk.
North Korea is testing H-bombs and ballistic missiles...and China doesn’t want to impose sanctions (??)
I think China is using North Korea as a military proxy.
China will continue to act as a business competitor, acting like a pseudo-capitalist and a “normal” player in global markets...meanwhile North Korea is free to act as the bad guy and freely display its military intentions.
They are one and the same communist block. One side makes all the money then gives it to the other side to spend on tactical strike weapons.
I do believe that its inevitable that Thaad will be deployed there.
What I’m really waiting for is the other shoe to drop when Japan deploys it as well.
Unless China is planning to launch missiles at South Korea I don’t see how this is a concern.

China is getting close to military tech-parity with us. It’s not like they couldn’t just wave their hands and the missile shield be rendered much less effective. They should shut the piehole.
