China has blocked access to newly updated clips of South Korean music
and dramas on the country's online video sharing platforms, sources
said Sunday, in an apparent bid to retaliate against Seoul's move to
deploy an advanced U.S. missile defense system.
The move
followed China's decision to prevent South Korean pop stars from
appearing on Chinese entertainment programs since October as South Korea
decided in July last year to station the Terminal High Altitude Area
Defense (THAAD) system on its soil.
A website uploading South
Korean dramas said on its social media account on Weibo that it will
stop updating video clips of South Korean entertainment programs for the
time being.
"Everybody should be aware of the reason for
this," it said, hinting at China's toughened restriction on Korean pop
culture, widely known as "hallyu."
China has strongly
opposed Seoul and Washington's decision to deploy a THAAD battery in
South Korea to counter North Korea's nuclear and missile threats.
Beijing said the move will hamper its security interests.

"... It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings."....I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
