S KOREA BLINKS AS CHINA OPPOSE OF THAAD MAKES THE PARK ADMINISTRATION DENY THE DEFENSIVE POSTURE OF THE THAAD IN THE PENINSULA–AS S KOREA’S OWN OPPOSITION LEFTWING DRIVE THE OPPOSITION NAIL AS THEY RALLY BEHIND THE CHINESE DRAGON REJECTION OF THE THAAD–CONSIDER ISRAEL DEPLOYMENT OF ITS OWN IRON DOME AGAINST BEING SURROUNDED FROM ALL SIDES FROM ITS ENEMY PREVENTED THE DESTRUCTION OF ITS CITIES FROM HAMAS MISSILE ATTACKS

Discussions over the deployment of the Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense system in South Korea are drifting into the Twilight Zone. The knee-jerk reaction of the government here is to deny that Washington has made any request to deploy them, which is patently untrue. Recent comments by a U.S. Defense Department spokesman that Washington and Seoul are continuing negotiations over the deployment of THAAD batteries have triggered both suspicion and confusion.

Meanwhile Beijing is pressuring Seoul to reject Washington's requests, since the U.S. missile defense program of which the THAAD batteries form the centerpiece is transparently aimed at keeping China in check. Beijing warns that their deployment here would have a "catastrophic impact" on bilateral relations.
Not to be outdone, opposition lawmakers and leftwing activists here are rallying behind China in opposing the deployment.

But China's claims have no scientific or technological basis with regard to their deployment in Korea. THAAD batteries target missiles flying 40 to 150 km above ground. Unless Chinese missiles are aimed directly at South Korea, they would fly over the Korean Peninsula at a much higher altitude. That means the THAAD batteries deployed here could not be used to target Chinese missiles.
Critics have claimed that the X-Band radar system that accompanies THAAD batteries have a range of 2,000 km and could be used to monitor Chinese military activities. But the U.S. says these powerful early-warning radars will only be deployed in Japan, while the ones set up in South Korea will be Terminal Mode X-Band radars with a maximum range of just 600 km. That is even shorter than the radars aboard the Navy's Aegis destroyers, which is 1,000 km.
China should check its facts before bullying South Korea.
