China will end what are believed to be retaliatory measures over South Korea's deployment of a U.S.-developed missile shield in the near future, a top Chinese official said Friday.

   Chinese President Xi Jinping's envoy, State Councilor Yang Jiechi, made the remarks during his meeting with South Korean President Moon Jae-in in Seoul.

   "China places great importance on matters of interest to President Moon," Yang was quoted as saying by Cheong Wa Dae spokesman Kim Eui-kyeom, referring to the normalization of Chinese group tourism to South Korea, smooth sales of Lotte Mart's Chinese stores, the resumption of the construction of a Lotte Town in Shenyang and subsidies for electric cars with Korean batteries. He added that there will be "tangible results in the near future" on these matters.

   In mid-March last year, China banned the sale of package tours to South Korea and took other measures unfavorable to South Korean companies following the installation of a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense battery in southeastern South Korea.

I hear a lot of people claim that this system is largely ineffective, so why are they so worried about it?
