中國不滿韓國部署薩德,全面抵制「韓流」
South Korean Businesses & Culture Face Backlash in China
00:12
South Korean businesses have been suffering due to a dispute with China, South Korea’s biggest trading partner, over a missile defense system located on its grounds.
00:22
American forces have deployed the anti-missile system THAAD, which is needed as a “defensive measure” to counter possible missile attacks from North Korea, as explained by American and South Korean officials.
00:34
China has repeatedly spoken out against THAAD, saying that the U.S. could utilize the system’s technology to spy on Chinese military activity. For months, Chinese media have called for a boycott of South Korean products because of THAAD.
00:43
Despite the boycotts, China has denied that economic restrictions have been placed on South Korean companies.
00:50
However, suffering businesses show otherwise - Lotte suffered a cyber attack after agreeing to sell land for THAAD. Meanwhile, a new opinion survey has shown growing anti-China sentiment in South Korea, follow-ing the economic reaction to the anti-missile system.
