Several Chinese companies say they will no longer do business with South Korea`s Lotte Group, after it agreed on Monday to provide land to host a US anti-missile system that Beijing sees as a threat to national security.
Public resentment against Lotte has risen rapidly over the last few days, with protesters in several cities calling for a boycott of the group.
