The ...South Korea isn't going to attack China. The United States isn't going to attack China. The combined forces of the United States and South Korea could not expect to prevail in a war with North Korea. As such, there is no possibility of beating a major power like China in an armed conflict. (Of course Red Sea could part again or something comparable could happen but it seems imprudent to base foreign policy on the assumptions that such tings are going to happen.)<br /><br />This THAAD system or whatever it is will not change the balance of power. As such, it is hard to imagine why China is concerned as such a system might slow down North Korea but cannot defeat them and there is no way such a system could deter a major military power like China. <br /><br />The THAAD system in concert with more conciliatory policies toward China might be enough to defuse tensions and prevent war as this system may make things pyric enough for China or their North Korean allies to attack and in concert with the more conciliatory polices there may be hope.
