Chinese tourists' group tours to S. Korea

Chinese tourists on group tours arrive at an international ferry terminal in Incheon, west of Seoul, on Aug. 23, 2023, after leaving the northeastern Chinese port of Shidao the previous day. On Aug. 10, China lifted a ban on group tours to South Korea, which had been halted six years ago due to the deployment in South Korea of the U.S. defense shield, the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense, which Beijing sees as a security threat.
