If South Korea really deploys the THAAD system, what will China do?

South Korea deploys THAAD, China imposes sanctions on South Korea

1. Radio and television restrictions on South Korea, restricting Korean artists from appearing on Chinese TV stations. Ban the import of Korean entertainment programs and set restrictions on the broadcast of jointly recorded programs

2. Economic sanctions, imposing sanctions on various Korean commodities, causing the Korean economy to decline. In particular, the import of South Korean food, cosmetics, shipbuilding, electronic equipment and other things that China can produce itself is particularly prohibited.

South Korea and China have great economic overlap, and China can sanction South Korea on related products.

A few years ago, South Korea banned the import of Chinese garlic, worth 10 million US dollars, and China banned Korean electronic products, worth 500 million US dollars. As a result, South Korea has been honest for several years.

3. Samsung mobile phones and batteries are not included in China’s procurement catalog

4. Official and non-governmental exchanges between China and South Korea are restricted.

5. Set restrictions on traveling to South Korea. In particular, China is restricted from traveling to Jeju Island. For Chinese to travel to South Korea, go shopping in South Korea, and go to South Korea for plastic surgery is simply idiotic behavior. These should be tightened and travel products to South Korea should be removed from the shelves. All types of Korean duty-free shops are not included in the scope of tourism to let South Korea know that China's interests cannot be infringed.

6. Increase the publicity of negative news about Korean products exported to China. South Korea exports electronic products to China, such as Samsung mobile phones and cars. China produces them in large quantities, so there is no need to buy Korean products.

7. Restrict Lotte’s operations in China.

A brief introduction to THAAD

The core component of the 'THAAD' system is an X-band radar. This X-band radar is designed to search and track ballistic missiles over long distances, with a detection range of 4,000 kilometers to 5,000 kilometers. The X-band radar in the 'THAAD' system has high detection accuracy. The 'THAAD' system can use the X-band radar to directly guide the interceptor missile to fly to the target through the command and control component. Although the 'THAAD' system is an air defense weapon, its core is That X-band radar. With this radar, China can deploy and launch missiles in North China and Northeast China, and the United States can see it at a glance. This is a great disadvantage to China.

That’s why China and Russia oppose the United States’ deployment of THAAD in South Korea. But to say how powerful THAAD is, the core of THAAD is X-band radar, which has long been available in Japan.

In addition, Taiwan’s Pave Claw radar is somewhat similar to THAAD, but THAAD sees closer and is more accurate, while Pave Claw sees farther and is less accurate. However, Pave Claw has been deployed for so many years. , China is no different.
