China demanded on Tuesday an immediate halt to a controversial US missile shield hours after Washington announced that the defence system was now operational in South Korea.
Washington and Seoul agreed to the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) battery deployment in July in the wake of a string of North Korean missile tests.
But its deployment has infuriated China, which fears it will weaken its own ballistic missile capabilities and says it upsets the regional security balance.

Will they think this way if NK fires off missiles and hits them in SK?
Do something about the madman up North then.
Trump uses one syllable words and China KNOWS, we will not be intimidated by the NORKs.
ESPECIALLY after the recent meet.
Trump isn’t going to buy this bull.
The THADD systems purpose is for DEFENSE, explain how having a defense threatens anyone else.
Hey China, control your barking obese pet rat in norkland and maybe we’ll get you a planter or something in return.
Otherwise, no sale.
Only a bully.
Well then maybe China should do something about their little toady North Korea.
Actually, this might give the US a negotiation advantage with China. It is a bargaining chip. Control NK or else, SK gets the THAAD.
“Will they think this way if NK fires off missiles and hits them in SK?” No, they’ll blame the US for not defending them. Peace activists, although having good intentions, are foolish.
Daily Mail, Really ??
Sample headline from their rag.
Back on? Adriana Lima sets tongues wagging as she leaves MET Gala after-party with NFL player ex Julian Edelman while sporting his bow-tie as a garter around her slender thigh

What China- you have Seoul on your target list?
Please tell us more about your strategic plans
I completely agree.
Reign in Kim.
Then, and only then. After that problem is solved, then we can talk about other things.
Not one second before.
It puts the advantage back in favor of the South and, at least in theory, nullifies the Norths threat.
...then clean up your neighborhood Chicoms!!!
Offensive-minded states have always complained about defensive systems. The Soviets did it all the time. They spent more money lobbying against Star Wars than nukes in Europe.
South Korean peace activists are organized by the communists.
He’s their puppet—and just where they want him.
Moreover, as long as they “try” to do something about him Trump has said they can continue to abuse us on trade.
Note to China: You don’t want THADD in South Korea, then YOU go take out North Korea’s WMD and missile programs, take ‘em out, root and branch; then South Korea would not need THADD. The ball is in your court.
Both Russia and China see a defensive missile shield as enabling a first strike scenario.
I agree- Daily Mail?? They do a lot of semi-fake news. They present opinion or conjecture as fact on a daily basis.
I stopped going there because they were very anti- Trump, and presented rumor as fact.
