Cold War 2.0 China says the United States and South Korea are totally responsible for “ any consequences ” of their decision to deploy the US Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) missile system on the Korean Peninsula, warning that Beijing will “ resolutely ” adopt due measures to protect its own “ security interests. ” The installation of the US advanced anti-missile system by the Republic of Korea Armed Forces (ROK) “ will severely disrupt regional strategic balance, gravely jeopardize the strategic security interests of relevant countries in this region including China, and is not conducive to peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula, ” said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang in a Monday press briefing.
