#2China has only themselves to blame. They've let their little client state (North Korea) get out of control to the point where they have nukes and have made threats of using them. If they didn't want a nuclear arms race amongst their neighbors, they should have taken appropriate action years ago.

I really think you're oversimplifying the situation from the Chinese perspective.

Yeah it's hard to feel sorry for them. They let this situation happen. This is an anti ballistic missile system, used to stop the very ballistic missiles NK is trying to launch. What did China honestly expect to happen? SK just leave itself open to attack?

#5The funny thing is China deployed long range radar system that can monitor the sky of S. Korea AND Japan like 10 years ago...

How is it over-simplified? China is letting this happen because of a lot of the profits they make, and russia make, off of the dictatorship that there is.

Russia gets slaves from them, thats why Russia protects them. China both profits from them, but also doesn't want to deal with Refugees. So they make the selfish act of letting the child run crazy.

How so? China is their largest trading partner and NK is building the missiles using Chinese parts.

You make it sound like it is perfectly ethical and reasonable to interfere with another sovereign state's defense systems unilaterally.
Edit: I think I have read much into the parent comment and made a strawman fallacy here.

#10What a disaster in that region last few weeks... Let's review:
SK impeached its president; NK tested more missiles;
US bungled the messaging of the armada,
reversed position on China's currency manipulation, then "realized it's not so easy"; then
China spins PR against SK for deploying a defense, then they add on some passive aggressive internet hacking.
Maybe things aren't so bad elsewhere.
