Almaty. December 20. Silkroadnews - China has resumed the ban on group tours to South Korea, Reuters reports.
“China has resumed its ban on group tours into South Korea, South Korea’s inbound travel agency said on Wednesday, an issue that erupted last year as part of China’s retaliation over the South’s deployment of a U.S. anti-missile system,” the report said.

This step was made despite the recent visit of South Korean President Moon Jae-in to China, showing some signs of a thaw in relations after last year’s scandal involving the U.S. anti-missile system. since last year a number of anti-missile systems broke out.
