On July 8, 2016 (June 5, 2016 in the lunar calendar), South Korea and the United States finally decided to deploy the THAAD anti-missile system. THAAD anti-missile system According to a report by Yonhap News Agency on July 8, 2016, the much-watched United States deployment of the THAAD anti-missile system in South Korea came to an end on the 8th. South Korea and the United States announced on the same day that they had finally decided to deploy the THAAD system in South Korea. The background statement by South Korea and the two countries on the deployment of the THAAD system stated that in view of North Korea's nuclear weapons, weapons of mass destruction and missiles, in order to protect the safety of the people of South Korea and the United States and ensure the military strength of the South Korea-US alliance, the two countries decided to take defensive measures. The two countries also said they are expected to announce the THAAD deployment site as soon as mid-July. Current candidate locations include Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi Province, Wonju, Gangwon Province, Inseong, Chungcheongbuk Province, and Chigu, Gyeongbuk Province. It is expected that the THAAD system will be deployed in the central region or the Gyeonggi region. South Korea and the United States also stressed that the Rosaad system is deployed on the peninsula and will not be pointed at any third country, but will only be used to defend against North Korea's nuclear and missiles. Analysts believe that this statement by the two countries is a realization of China and Russia, which strongly oppose the deployment of the THAAD system on the peninsula. On the 7th, the South Korean government informed China, Russia and other neighboring countries through diplomatic channels of the fact and reasons for its decision to deploy the THAAD system. China will consider taking necessary measures. On July 8, the United States and South Korea announced that they would deploy the "THAAD" anti-missile system in South Korea despite the clear opposition of relevant countries, including China. China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued a statement expressing strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition to this. We will pay close attention to relevant actions by the United States and South Korea, and China will consider taking necessary measures to maintain national strategic security and regional strategic balance. South Korean media is worried about China's Insadr missile retaliation against South Korean companies.

According to South Korea's "Central Daily News" reported on the 11th, South Korea's semiconductors, mobile phones, automobiles and other industries are currently considered South Korean economic industries that are more vulnerable to attacks by China. As a major manufacturer of 50%-60% of mobile phones and notebooks in the world, China is the largest customer of Samsung Electronics, LG Electronics, SK Hynix, etc. According to South Korea's New Zealand News Agency reported on the 11th, South Korea's electronics, automobiles, petrochemicals and other industries that are highly dependent on China's exports are currently worried about the subsequent storm after Thaad entered South Korea. In 2000, China announced a ban on the import of South Korean mobile phones and displays because South Korea increased the tariff on imported garlic from China tenfold. People related to the South Korean electronics industry said that just as operations in China were struggling, the bad news of Thaad's entry into South Korea came out. Corporate legal persons in China were in a desperate situation and were extremely sensitive to the turmoil in China. In addition, South Korea's retail and tourism industries are generally worried that the China government may take measures to "restrict travel to South Korea." South Korean duty-free shop companies, which currently have 60%-70% of their overall sales from China tourists, are very nervous about this. Sun Hyo-soo, a researcher at South Korea's "HI-IB" investment securities, believes that in the future, China may retaliate in trade, restrict tourists from coming to South Korea, and impose sanctions on Korean companies in China. At present, the most worrying thing for South Korean business circles is whether anti-Korean sentiment in China will continue to spread, because this may lead to consumer boycott of Korean goods in the China market.
