China issued a strong warning to the United States and South Korea again regarding THAAD deployment on the Korean peninsula.
The admonition from Beijing comes at a time when members of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's transition team, including Trump's choice for national security adviser, Michael Flynn, are meeting with South Korean envoys.
During a bilateral meeting Monday, Flynn said the deployment of the U.S. missile defense system was the right decision and serves as a symbol of the solidarity of the alliance, South Korean newspaper JoongAng Ilbo reported.
On Thursday, Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said, "Regarding the THAAD issue, we are watching the position of the Trump side and the South Korean side," in response to the news of the recent bilateral meeting.
