On Thursday, the United States Department of State expressed concerns over China’s retaliatory measures against South Korean businesses over the deployment of THAAD missile defenses.
Yonhap news agency reported that Washington described those measures as “unreasonable and inappropriate.”
“We are concerned and closely monitoring reports that China has taken actions against South Korean private sector entities for the US-ROK [Republic of Korea] decision to deploy THAAD in the ROK,” an unnamed representative of the State Department told Yonhap.
Concurrently, the source reaffirmed Washington’s “ironclad commitment” to the defense of its allies.
According to the report, this was the first time Washington has publicly condemned China’s retaliatory measures over the THAAD deployment.
Moreover, South Korean media is trying to capitalize on the tense situation. For example, a correspondent of Sputnik China reported that China did not ban tourist trips to South Korea, while South Korean media has reported that Beijing imposed tourist restrictions against Seoul.
