I've been wary about the Chinese gov's honesty after the economic reparations after THAAD deployment in Korea. (NK made nukes, so US deployed THAAD to defend against NK nukes, and PRC gov. got angry for some defense-only 'weapon')

Moreover, the Chinese gov. has been sending NK refugees back to NK, even though it knows those people won't end well.

But anyway, +1 for Chinese gov. on this stance - I guess this might be a start for a morally better China, a real Big Man country.

> NK nukes, and PRC gov. got angry for some defense-only 'weapon'

This "defense-only" weapon upsets the decade-old nuclear balance of M.A.D. because the THAAD radar is sensitivity and location weaken China's nuclear retaliatory ability.

then the Chinese gov. should have forced NK to give up its nukes in the first place. It can, but didn't, so US and Korea have the reason to deploy THAAD.

Chinese gov. should explain why it let NK have nukes before blaming 'power balance'
