After the Republic of Korea announced it had agreed to the United States deploying the Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense anti-missile system in its territory, which will break the regional strategic balance, reports show some ROK TV programs have encountered obstacles trying to enter the Chinese market.

Some foreign media outlets, especially those in the ROK, even said the Chinese government intervened in the process.

It is natural for ROK program producers to be so sensitive because China is the biggest overseas market for ROK programs. People in that country should have anticipated such consequences when their government insisted on deploying the THAAD system.
