Top trade ministry officials from both countries met in China, where Korean officials told their Chinese counterparts that Korean firms doing business in China were having operational difficulties due to the apparent economic retaliation for Korea’s THAAD deployment. They asked Chinese officials for support in resolving the matter.

Korean car companies are the latest to be affected by the economic retaliation, with tourism, retail, and cultural exports also badly hit.
