Lotte to resume China real estate project

Lotte Group said on Thursday it would resume work on a $2.6 billion real estate project in China this month, after work was halted following the South Korean firm's decision in 2017 to offer land in South Korea for a U.S. anti-missile system. The South Korean real estate giant has invested about 3 trillion won ($2.58 billion) in the project in China's Shenyang where it plans to build a shopping mall, hotel, office block and apartments. The complex had been due for completion this year.
