South Korea has lodged a protest with China over suspected repatriations of North Koreans, while also targeting firms involved in building Taiwan's navy submarines. South Korean authorities have cited the risk of Chinese economic retaliation as they charged marine technology firm SI Innotec for violating trade laws in its work on Taiwan's military submarine program. The move comes amid South Korea's fear of China's influence and its efforts to strengthen ties with Taiwan.
