One company is bearing the brunt of China's anger over U.S. missile system

The U.S. and the South Korea plan to deploy the THAAD system by the end of 2017. China says it threatens its national security. One of South Korea’s biggest conglomerates has found itself caught in the middle of escalating tensions with China over the deployment of a controversial U.S. missile defense system.

Lotte Group agreed last week to hand over a golf course to the South Korean government to house the THAAD system. Since then, at least 23 Lotte Mart stores across China have been shut down by authorities, according to the company.
