It’s aimed at N. Korea and China, China is the major target, primarily for surveillance purposes. The US uses N. Korea as an excuse to surround, and spy on China. It’s also aimed at the tip or a small portion of Russia. South Korean’s know that they will suffer the consequences of any action military taken towards anyone whether N.Korea or China.
