본문내용

In 2016, South Korea agreed to the United States on the deployment of THAAD concerning the continuous nuclear tests held in North Korea. This led to the retaliatory behavior from the China as China was not satisfied with South Korea’s decision to station the US anti-ballistic missile defense system- THAAD. This was mainly because China regarded that the deployment of US’s defense system could be a threat to China’s national security in various ways. In return, China held retaliation against South Korea mainly in economic terms. Also, confronting to the expansion of United States’ influence on Northeast Asia region- especially on South Korea, it counteracted by deploying S-400 from Russia. This means that the competition between China and United States has been intensified.
Moreover, this also means that China chose to deteriorate the existing cooperative relations with South Korea considering the strategic benefits that China and South Korea were mutually having through strategic partnership.
