Costly consequences of THAAD for Seoul

By Wang Junsheng (China Daily) Updated: 2016-08-04 08:02

In the mid-term ROK election on April 13, the ruling Saenuri Party became a minority. So it used THAAD to divert people's attention from the stagnant economy to national security, especially because the popular view in the ROK is that the US is a more reliable economic engine than China. THAAD can reassure ROK people of the US' support and protection even though the ROK leaders know it will invite threats, instead of safeguarding national security.

Responding to the opposition parties' criticism of THAAD, the Saenuri Party tried to stifle dissenting voices by saying opposing the missile system was equivalent to opposing national security protection. In other words, ROK leaders are keeping the people in the dark to ensure the deployment of THAAD.

During his meeting with ROK Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn on June 29, President Xi Jinping emphasized China's stance and concern over THAAD's deployment in the ROK. To cushion Beijing's reaction, Seoul said the missile defence system will be deployed in southeast ROK, the farthest point from China, and its detection range will be shortened from 2,000 kilometers to 600-800 km. This is hogwash, for even if the first THAAD's range were only 200 km, it can be easily upgraded and more such systems are likely to be deployed in the ROK.

Seoul's calculations about the deal are wrong, and it has jeopardized its neighbors' security in exchange for the protection of a faraway ally. It is an irony that the ROK considers itself an independent medium-level world power but still looks to other countries for protection.

THAAD will stoke an arms race on the Korean Peninsula, which is against the peaceful reunification goal of the ROK government. China and Russia will not sit idle while the US continues to play its strategic games, and the ROK will become a target in any conflict that ensues. Worse, THAAD will weaken Sino-US mutual trust and harm Sino-ROK economic and trade ties.

The situation the THAAD game will lead to will be too costly for the ROK.
