South Korea has raised concerns at a World Trade Organization (WTO) committee meeting over Chinese trade decisions. 

Seoul claims that Beijing has taken steps in retaliation for the deployment of US-made missile defense system THAAD. It filed a formal appeal with the WTO at its Technical Barriers to Trade committee meeting held in Geneva from March 28 to the 30. The concerns involve three cases of claimed Chinese trade berries in areas including medical equipment and powdered milk.

Seoul's move came as it made an appeal to the WTO's service council in March, requesting the agency to determine if Chinese measures on South Korean tourism and retail businesses conflict with WTO regulations. China denies the claims, saying that it is a responsible WTO member and always follows the organization’s rules.
