THAAD will destabilise East Asia geopolitics
Keyword(s):
Subject US missile defence in East Asia. Significance South Korean and US officials announced today that the two countries had reached agreement to deploy an advanced missile defence system (known as THAAD) in South Korea -- a development Beijing has publicly and vociferously opposed. Impacts THAAD will demonstrate to China the need to upgrade its nuclear deterrent capabilities and modify its nuclear doctrine. THAAD has cross-party support in South Korea; domestic politics is unlikely to block deployment. THAAD will not make South Korea immune to nuclear attack from the North.
