Explanation

The United States plan to install a Theater Missile Defence (TMD) system in Taiwan angered China, as it viewed this as a threat to its security interests and interference in what it considers its territorial affairs. The TMD system was part of broader US missile defense initiatives in Asia. China strongly opposed any military cooperation between the US and Taiwan that it perceived as threatening its position on Taiwan's status. This was a significant geopolitical issue in US-China relations in early 2002.
