Foreign media: China and South Korea signed a trade agreement worth $44.11 million and several memoranda of understanding on January 7, 2026. This cooperation was reached during South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol's visit to China, aiming to repair the bilateral relations that were damaged since South Korea deployed the THAAD missile defense system in 2017.
South Korea held its first export promotion and investment attraction event in nine years in Beijing, which attracted 400 business representatives, including large companies such as Samsung and LG. The event led to the signing of 24 export contracts involving South Korean consumer goods, showing a positive shift in the bilateral relationship and reflecting China's intention to strengthen regional cooperation amid tensions with Japan.
