According to Yonhap News Agency's report on February 27th, the South Korean Ministry of National Defense said on the 27th that Lotte Group held a board meeting that day and decided to transfer the land of Xingzhou Golf Course to the Ministry of National Defense to deploy the "Sade" anti-missile system. According to the report, if the two parties formally sign the contract, the design and construction will start soon, and the deployment of "Sade" can be completed within 5-7 months.
At the regular press conference on the 27th, China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Geng Shuang said that China is firmly opposed and strongly dissatisfied with this.
Geng Shuang said that the US and South Korea's push to deploy the Sadr anti-missile system in South Korea has seriously damaged the regional strategic balance, seriously damaged the strategic security interests of relevant countries in the region, including China, and is not conducive to maintaining peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula. China has repeatedly stressed that it understands the legitimate concerns of all parties concerned to safeguard their own security, but the security of one country should not be based on harming the security of other countries. Regrettably, the ROK ignored China's interests and concerns and insisted on cooperating with the US to speed up the deployment process. China is firmly opposed and strongly dissatisfied with this.
"I want to emphasize once again that China's will to oppose the deployment of the Sadr system in South Korea is firm and will resolutely take necessary measures to safeguard its own security interests, and all the consequences arising therefrom will be borne by the United States and South Korea." Geng Shuang said, "We strongly urge relevant parties to stop the deployment process and not to go further and further on the wrong road.
