That article explains things clearly thank you





"Chinese military observers said Beijing?s response reflected concerns the system would view the PLA?s operations over the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea in greater detail and eventually further unite South Korea, Japan and the US in a defence alliance.

With radars that can reach up to 4,000km away, a THAAD system based in South Korea would severely compromise China?s controversial air defence zone.

They also warned that the system could prompt China and Russia to stockpile ballistic missiles and deploy more nuclear-powered submarines as counterbalances."
