| Summary |
Beijing perceives THAAD as mostly directed at China and as a regional security concern, according to its official statements. Chinese observers claim the THAAD deployment signals the expansion of the U.S.-allied ballistic missile defense architecture in the Asia Pacific, weakens China's nuclear deterrent, and confirms longstanding fears of U.S. containment of China. Beijing has used economic coercion, among other tools, to try to compel Seoul to abandon the THAAD deployment. These levers used against South Korean businesses, groups, and individuals reflect a Chinese government pattern of adverse actions toward other countries it perceives as defying or undermining China's national security interests, although the Chinese economic coercion against South Korea is greater in scope and depth. China's forceful opposition to THAAD has significant implications for the United States and the geopolitical landscape in the Asia Pacific. These implications include: China's potential use of economic coercion against other countries during future disputes; the potential use of Chinese countermeasures to overcome the U.S.-led regional missile defense network; increased Chinese missile defense coordination with Russia; additional complications in coordinating U.S. policy toward North Korea with allies and partners in the Asia Pacific; and potential improvements in U.S.-South Korea-Japan cooperation. |
