  • New York Times：China's Impact Looms Large as US Debates Its Own Trade Deals
    The New York Times reports, "If the U.S. doesn't write the rules of international trade, President Barack Obama warns, China will. In fact, China is already helping write those rules, and in some ways has jumped ahead of the game. There's intense competition between the U.S. and China for economic influence in the world. As Obama seeks to persuade lawmakers to back his trade agenda, he has cast that competition as an economic threat...As a result, China's impact, both current and potential, is partly shaping the U.S. debate over whether Congress should grant Obama greater trade-negotiation authority. Under such authority, lawmakers could still set parameters for trade deals, but once an agreement was negotiated they could only approve or reject it, not change it."
  • Reuters：U.S. says South China Sea reclamations stoke instability
    "China's land reclamation around reefs in the disputed South China Sea is undermining freedom and stability, and risks provoking tension that could even lead to conflict...China claims 90 percent of the South China Sea, which is believed to be rich in oil and gas, its claims overlapping with those of Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines, Vietnam and Taiwan...The United States and China clashed over the dispute on Saturday, when visiting U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry urged China to take action to reduce tension. China said its determination to protect its interests was 'as hard as a rock,'" writes Reuters.
  • New York Times：China Buys Into Multiple Warheads

    According to an opinion article from The New York Times, "After exercising restraint in its nuclear weapons program for decades, China has made the poor choice of upgrading its arsenal in a way that raises concerns about its intentions, introduces new uncertainty in Asia and could add more fuel to a regional arms race. The unsettling development is China's decision to equip its most powerful missile - the DF-5 for Dong Feng or East Wind, which can reach the United States - with multiple warheads instead of just one. The information was reported publicly for the first time earlier this month in the annual Pentagon report on China's military and security programs."
