The only opinion that matters is that of the Republic of Korea. Red China can fuck off.

Although, that opinion of THAAD may be changing rapidly...on Tuesday:

“It is not desirable for the [caretaker] South Korean government to deploy THAAD hastily at this politically sensitive time, with the presidential election approaching, and without going through the democratic process, an environmental assessment or a public hearing,” said [probable new ROK President] Moon, sitting on the floor in a Korean restaurant after an evening rally in Seongnam, south of Seoul.

If he wins, he becomes President immediately.
