As the North approaches this point, the US will have to strengthen its missile defenses in the western Pacific – areas close to China – in order to deter the North Korean threat. The result, invariably, will be heightened Sino-US tension.
如果朝鲜掌握了这一技术，美国将不得不强化其西太平洋（接近中国的地区）的导弹防御，以消除朝鲜的威胁。其结果免不了将加剧中美紧张。
