BEIJING, Sept 5 (Reuters) - Chinese President Xi Jinping
told his South Korean counterpart Park Geun-hye that China
opposes the U.S. deployment of the THAAD anti-missile system in
South Korea, the state news agency Xinhua reported on Monday.
"Mishandling the issue is not conducive to strategic
stability in the region and could intensify disputes," Xinhua
quoted Xi as telling Park in the eastern Chinese city of
Hangzhou.
Park, Xi and other leaders from the Group of 20 major
economies are meeting in Hangzhou.
