THREATS FROM NORTH KOREA: China’s Xi pledges to address differences with South Korea
Chinese president Xi Jinping pledged to make concerted efforts with South Korean leader Moon Jae-in to address differences between the two nations, according to reports.

South Korea and the United States agreed to deploy the Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense anti-missile system in response to threats from North Korea. However the installation angered China, which says its powerful radar will eb able to look deep into its territory and undermine regional security.
