The board of an affiliate of South Korea’s Lotte Group approved a deal on Monday to enable authorities to install controversial US system to be installed, the defence ministry said.
But China objects to the deployment in South Korea of the THAAD, which has a powerful radar capable of penetrating Chinese territory.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang repeated China’s opposition it on Monday, saying it would not help peace and stability of the Korean peninsula, and called on South Korea and the United States not go to go ahead.
China will take necessary steps to protect its security interests, Geng said, without giving details.
He told a daily news briefing in Beijing: ”All the consequences of that are the responsibility of South Korea and the United States.”
Chinese state media recently warned the Lotte Group, South Korea’s fifth-largest conglomerate, that it would face severe consequences if it allowed its land to be used for the missile system.
