4hw.com.cn integration: the United States decided to deploy its own Sade missile defense system in South Korea and bear all costs for it! When did the United States and South Korea become friendly and provide free protection? What exactly is the Sade system? Why did the United States try every possible means to introduce it to South Korea? What would cause China's strong opposition? Here are the answers.
What is Sade?
In order to prevent North Korea's military action, South Korea requires the United States to deploy Sade system on its own territory, because South Korea and the United States are military allies. So, what is Sade?
I'd like to dedicate it to you
Thad system is a subsystem of the U.S. global missile defense system. The missile system is mainly developed and produced by Lockheed & Martin, an American Aerospace manufacturer. It is an anti missile system that can be deployed on vehicles. It has the unique ability to intercept short-range, medium range and long-range intercontinental ballistic missiles in and out of the atmosphere.
Let's take a look at the diagram
A 'Sade' system is usually composed of a command center, a ground X-band radar, six eight mounted launchers and 48 interceptors. Its intercepting altitude ranges from 40 km in the atmosphere to 150 km outside the atmosphere, and its range can reach 200 km. It can hit ballistic missiles launched at a speed of more than 8 times the supersonic speed.
Why is China opposed?
As mentioned above, the United States will bear all costs to provide South Korea with the Sadr missile defense system. How good is it between the United States and South Korea? In fact, it is not! The United States' intention is not to drink, but to better monitor China, which is the reason why China strongly opposes it.
Let's start with a short story
China, North Korea, the United States and South Korea can throw stones at each other, and whoever hits them will have their heads broken. In the past, North Korea and South Korea did not throw stones. The United States often intimidated North Korea, and North Korea learned to throw stones. North Korea will throw stones. When South Korea is afraid, they turn to the United States for help. The United States calls a man named thad to look at North Korea and make North Korea's stones not to be thrown out. However, China and North Korea are close, and thad's tube is wide. He not only stares at North Korea, but also looks at China. As a result, China's right to throw stones is lost, and it can only wait for the United States to throw stones at its own glass. Do you think China can do this?
The most important reason why China opposes it and the United States is free of charge is that the monitoring scope of the Sade system is far beyond the defense needs of the Korean Peninsula itself and goes deep into the hinterland of the Asian continent.
The biggest highlight of Sade system is its X-band radar. The core equipment of 'Sade' is an / tpy-2 radar with a detection range of up to 2000 km and a very high resolution, which can complete multi-functional tasks such as detection, search, tracking and target recognition.
Sade is the most advanced defense system at present, covering a large area. Drawing a circle from South Korea can cover North Korea, and even more cover half of China, including China's three eastern provinces, Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing and Guangdong, as well as some parts of Russia's Far East. The reason why China opposes this is that the United States has installed eyes and ears for peeping and eavesdropping on "domestic affairs" at home.
In fact, there are reasons why the United States chose South Korea. Compared with Japan, Sade can push forward a detection range of 300 km westward and northward, which makes it more convenient to monitor the launching activities of medium and long-range missiles in most areas along the northeast, North and Southeast coasts of China and the Far East of Russia.
How does China respond?
Earlier, foreign ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said that China's will to oppose the deployment of the 'Sade' system in South Korea is firm and will take necessary measures to safeguard its own security interests. All consequences arising therefrom shall be borne by the United States and South Korea. China has also repeatedly stressed that it understands the legitimate concerns of the relevant parties to safeguard its own security, but the security of one country should not be based on the damage to the security of other countries.
In addition to the official position, the public also took many actions against Sadr and South Korea. On February 27, Lotte agreed to exchange land for Lotte golf course with the Ministry of defense to deploy Sade anti missile system. Since then, Lotte has been occupied.

In recent years, the good development of China ROK relations has brought unlimited business opportunities to enterprises of the two countries. Lotte is one of the most typical beneficiaries. China is Lotte's most important market. Its investment has reached 10 trillion won, covering more than 24 provinces and cities in China, with more than 120 stores, and it is still expanding wildly!
According to an online statistics, during the Spring Festival last year, only 26% of the customers visited Lotte's head office in Seoul, with an average consumption of 560000 won. 70% of the sales of Lotte's duty-free stores in Seoul came from China!

However, Lotte Group insists on providing land for Sade's deployment, forgetting that its development benefits from the friendly relations between the two countries. Lotte's writing has aroused the dissatisfaction of the Chinese people. Boycott of Lotte has become a hot word recently. The news about Lotte supermarket closing down and being punished has been overwhelming on the Internet.
According to the Yonhap news agency, as of this afternoon, a total of 39 Lotte Mart stores have been closed in Huamen.
As a matter of fact, Lotte is also an enemy. In recent days, South Korean people and non-governmental organizations have held demonstrations in front of the South Korean parliament and Lotte Department stores to protest the deployment of 'Sade', demanding that Lotte refuse to provide land for deployment, and even take this as a criterion to judge whether Lotte is a real national enterprise. It can be seen that Rakuten's move not only hurt the feelings of the Chinese people, but also unpopular in South Korea.
Recently, a news spread on China's network said that South Korea's global news eye interviewed Lotte Group President Xin Dongbin. When the reporter asked about the current Chinese boycott of Lotte and what plans Lotte Group had in mind, Xin Dongbin said with a smile: "don't worry, the Chinese people are very Philistine, spineless and bloodless. If we reduce the price, they will buy it."
Yesterday, Lotte (China) said in an emergency statement that there was no news media such as "global news eye" in South Korea, and Lotte Group had not received any media interview on Sade and Lotte's business in China.
In the statement, Rakuten defended its "land exchange" behavior, saying that "as a company, Lotte actually has no choice because of South Korea's political policy decision. He also expressed his deep love for China.
