  • New York Times：China's President to Meet With Head of Taiwan's Governing Party Next Month
    The New York Times writes, "President Xi Jinping of China, who is also general secretary of the Chinese Communist Party, will meet next month with the chairman of Taiwan's governing party in Beijing, both sides said on Friday, in what would be the first meeting of the two parties' leaders since 2009. No major breakthroughs are expected in the May 4 meeting between Mr. Xi and Eric Chu, the chairman of the Nationalist Party, also known as the Kuomintang...The Kuomintang fled to Taiwan after losing the Chinese civil war to the Communists in 1949. China claims self-ruled Taiwan as part of its territory and has not ruled out the use of force to achieve unification."
  • Reuters：Host Malaysia avoids Chinese ire over disputed sea at ASEAN summit

    "Malaysia is steering clear of criticizing China's actions in the South China Sea at a meeting of Southeast Asian leaders next week, a draft end-statement seen by Reuters shows, despite a push by the Philippines to denounce Beijing's reclamation work. Philippines President Benigno Aquino has called on leaders of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) to issue a collective statement condemning China's reclamation in the disputed waters at the end of their Kuala Lumpur meeting. The summit starts on Sunday. China says ASEAN is not a party to the South China Sea dispute," reports Reuters.

  • The Diplomat：AIIB: China's 'Phase Zero Operation'?
    According to an opinion article from The Diplomat, "A month after controversy erupted over the announcement that multiple U.S. allies will join China's new Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), the Obama administration's response was clearly misguided. Concerned that the AIIB represented a power play by China for influence in the rest of the world at the expense of the U.S., administration officials criticized the bank for not adhering to the 'high standards' required of U.S. and Western-led international institutions such as the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank. In contrast, there was a clear alternative for the United States: welcome China's contribution to economic development in the developing countries of Asia and even join the bank itself."
  • Wall Street Journal：China's Nuclear Warning
    The Wall Street Journal reports, "Even China is now raising flags about nuclear proliferation. Beijing helped Pakistan get the bomb in the 1980s and has been North Korea's patron from one Dear Leader to the next. But in February Chinese officials warned a group of Americans that Pyongyang has many more nuclear warheads than previously believed: up to 20 already, perhaps 40 by next year. The new Chinese assessment, reported Thursday by the Journal, is based on updated intelligence concerning North Korea's ability to enrich uranium. The North Koreans had no such capability when they signed the 1994 Agreed Framework with the Clinton Administration, which required them to stop their nuclear-weapons efforts."
