You can read the report here.

But broadly what I wanted to talk about is the use of economic retaliation against Korea.

I think it is thoroughly unwise to use economic retaliation for a number of reasons, that I hope to illustrate in the course of our discussion.

If we don't use economic retaliation for threaten our national security, what can we do Mr. Smarty? LOL

How is Chinese national security compromised by a purely defensive missile system? It is meant to keep out North Korean missiles. Unless China has some plans for South Korea, how is it your concern?

If america nuke china and china can't nuke america back due to thaad. Then obviously china national existence is compromise.

Unless the korean genuinely believe the chinese is going to nuke korea then forgoing billion of trade with china and having thaad in korea do make sense. Otherwise the korean is just a pawn being used in this game between the two super power

I do not know whether to laugh or not at your comment. THAAD is Terminal High Altitude Area Defence. It is meant to shoot down missiles in terminal phase. Any missile China decides to shoot at the US WILL NOT be in terminal phase over South Korea or anywhere near.

Please go to sleep. You need it.

Obviously you did not bother to read gambit comment on the other thaad thread. Just a common sense for you. Thaad is a ground to air missile system. Does a ground to air missile system can only shoot a target at its terminal stage instead of the initial stage?

Go play somewhere else.

Gambit was yanking dumb Chinese chain. Now let it rest.

A ground to air missile can shoot a target whether the target has just gotten off the ground or ready to land; that's common sense for you. Now go play with the chinese because they are going ape shiit about a missile system that can only shoot at a target that is ready to land. Lol

THAAD is an offensive weapon in disguise. A wolf in sheep clothes. I will not be surprised US fits nuke warhead on it and ready to strike China anytime.

Anyways no supa pawa countries want other supa pawa country to have military installation besides its boundary... US will not entertain if similar installation will be done near its boundary.. such as Cuba

 

[Dungeness]

What a silly thread! Never heard of economic sanctions?

 

[samsara]

What a silly thread! Never heard of economic sanctions?

And it will get down even dumber to entertain a thread like this one. Let them dance over this...
I gonna watch the Volleyball Asian Championship 2017 in Chongqing instead of wasting my time over it

But I thought the Chinese could blind THAAD?

Try diplomacy?

The issue here is that you have signed some pledges under law when joining WTO, and other trade regimes.

An economic sanction violates that, and apart from that is unproductive.

Let's see the reasons:

1. It is unproductive because it gives other states the chance to use this against China.
2. It is NOT going to stop Thaad deployment in S Korea.
3. It is only creating anxiety in other countries surrounding China.
4. From now on, other countries surrounding China will try to diversify their relationship and dependence.
5. South Korea itself will try to diversify its trade.

Actually it is a national security concern for China.

The radar of THAAD alone can peer DEEP inside Chinese territory, not to mention that the whole of the north sea fleet of China will be under surveillance.

Apart from that while the title of the system may be THAAD, nothing really prevents it from being deployed against any kind of missile.

It's not about what China can do, it's about what Korea does to China. We are not going to feed someone who treats us like an enemy.
