U.S. lawmakers have proposed a resolution denouncing China for its economic retaliation
against South Korea over the deployment of the THAAD missile defense system.
This is the first ever move against Beijing involving both the Republican and Democratic
parties.
Park Jong-hong reports.
The resolution urges China to halt its retaliatory measures against South Korea,... calling them
"unreasonable and inappropriate".
Republican Ted Yoho,... who is chairman of the House Subcommittee on Asia and the Pacific,...
formally proposed the resolution.
It was also backed by four other Republican congressmen and one Democrat from California.
The resolution singles out the actions of China such as the closures of Lotte Mart outlets
in the country and suspended sales of tour packages to South Korea.
It notes that the measures could constitute a violation of WTO regulations.
The resolution urges Beijing to "immediately cease its diplomatic intimidation and economic
coercion" against the South.
It also calls on China to pressure North Korea to give up its nuclear and ballistic missile
programs instead of undermining South Korea's sovereign right to defend itself against the
North Korean threat.
China has taken a number of economic retaliatory measures, including restrictions on South
Korean imports and cancellations of Korean performances.
This is in protest against Seoul's decision to host the THAAD anti-missile defense system,
which is set to be completely deployed in the coming weeks.
