Factually speaking, South Korea did pay tributes to China for a long period of time. However, this antagonization is not about history but more for political reason.
South Korea is making a big fuss because it is afraid to be sold out by USA. Trump is offending SK deliberately because he knows the next SK president may not want to install THAAD. This incident may actually force SK to accept the THAAD installation because SK doesn't want to be sold out.
Trump's strategy works as we predicted.
