Chinese President Xi opposes THAAD deployment in S.Korea

THAAD will be no longer needed if the North’s nuclear and missile issues are resolved, Park says

Chinese President Xi Jinping voiced opposition to the deployment of the Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) anti-missile battery during bilateral talks with South Korean President Park Geun-hye on Monday.

"Mishandling the issue is not conducive to strategic stability in the region, and could intensify disputes," Chinese state news agency Xinhua reported quoting Xi as saying.
