SEOUL, Aug. 16 (Yonhap) -- South Korea has proposed holding three-way discussions with the United States and China over the deployment of the U.S. missile shield THAAD here that is strongly opposed by Beijing, an informed source said Wednesday.
The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the proposal was made at a bilateral summit between South Korean President Moon Jae-in and Chinese leader Xi Jinping, held on the sidelines of the Group of 20 summit in Hamburg, Germany, early last month.
