Are they against any allied proliferation on the peninsula, aka NIMBYism, or is there more to this missile system than taking out offensive weapons?

China is upset because they view that entire area as theirs, and they see the Americans moving a missile defense system into South Korea as a destabilizing threat and also a move that increases US influence in the area.
China likes having a boogey man like North Korea in the area running rampant because it removes focus from China's large military buildup.
