The PRC government calls on the United States not to spoil relations between Beijing and Seoul with its missile systems.
Such a statement on Friday, May 29, made the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China.
The diplomatic service emphasized that Beijing “strongly opposes” the deployment of THAAD missile defense systems in South Korea.
The representative of the ministry, Zhao Lijian, in turn, noted that clear agreements were reached between Beijing and Seoul that would provide a “phased solution to the problem” with American missile defense systems. The diplomat expressed hope that the South Korean side will adhere to this agreement.
A statement by the Chinese Foreign Ministry was made against the background of how it became known about the delivery of new missiles to the THAAD systems at a base in South Korea.
