South Korea\'s science panel sends protest letter over U.S. House \'Coupang report\'

South Korea’s parliamentary Science, ICT, Broadcasting and Communications Committee sent a protest letter to the U.S. House Judiciary Committee over a report that assessed a Coupang hearing as a case of discrimination against a U.S. company. The committee said the report largely reflected a specific company’s claims and did not sufficiently capture the hearing’s purpose and procedures. It said the joint hearing was legally held and addressed issues including data leaks and consumer protection.
