  • Story Text:Chinese President Xi Jinping met with Seoul's envoy to China, Lee Hae-chan on Friday (May 19) in Beijing.
    Sent by new South Korean President Moon Jae-in, Lee is in China to help improve ties.
    During the meeting Xi told Lee he was willing to put relations with Seoul back on a normal track.
    China has strongly opposed the U.S. THAAD anti-missile system deployed in South Korea to counter the threat from North Korea, saying it can spy into its territory, and South Korean companies have been hit in China by a nationalist backlash over the deployment.
