Forces Korea, trucks carrying U.S. missile launchers and other equipment needed to set up the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) missile defense system arrive at the Osan air base in Pyeongtaek, South Korea, Monday, March 6, 2017. The U.S. military has begun moving equipment for the controversial missile defense system to ally South Korea. China responded quickly, saying it will take “necessary measures” to protect itself and warning that the U.S. and South Korea should be prepared to bear the consequences. The South Korean government also raised concerns about a reported ban on Chinese tour groups visiting the country. There was pride and defiance among the elite citizens who live in North Korea’s showcase capital, Pyongyang.
