  • Reuters：Pentagon again asks China to end island building, seeks more military contact
    "U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter met a top Chinese general on Thursday and repeated a U.S. call for a halt to land reclamation in the South China Sea, while stressing that the Pentagon remained committed to expanding military contacts with China. In the meeting with General Fan Changlong, a deputy head of China's powerful Central Military Commission, Carter stressed his commitment to developing "a sustained and substantive U.S.-China military-to-military relationship", the Pentagon said. It said this would be based on a shared desire to deepen cooperation in areas including humanitarian assistance, disaster response, peacekeeping, counter-piracy, as well as 'constructive management of differences," writes Reuters.
  • Wall Street Journal：China's Corruption Drive Shifts Focus After Zhou Conviction

    The Wall Street Journal reports, "With the conviction of former security chief Zhou Yongkang , China's top antigraft officials appear to have a new aim: dialing down public expectations. Official media Friday gave muted coverage to the conviction of Mr. Zhou, once one of the Communist Party's top leaders, on charges of bribery, abuse of power and sharing state secrets, according to official media accounts Thursday. He was the most senior Chinese political figure prosecuted for crimes since the 1970s. Instead of stoking publicity, a north China court secretly prosecuted Mr. Zhou and quietly sentenced him to life in prison. State media that reported the court decision provided few details of the allegations. Official television broadcast images of Mr. Zhou only momentarily, as he confessed."

  • New York Times：Chinese Premier Urges Officials to Fight Events That Led 4 Children to Drink Pesticide
    The New York Times writes, "Li Keqiang, the Chinese premier, ordered officials across the country on Friday to avert the kind of events that led to the deaths of four children who drank pesticide this week, possibly to kill themselves, in an impoverished corner of the southwest. The youths, three sisters and a brother between the ages of 5 and 13, were among the many 'left-behind children' in China. Their father was a migrant worker who sought jobs elsewhere and had been away from home for long periods of time, while their mother had also been absent for some reason in recent years. The siblings lived in a house in Guizhou Province, one of the poorest areas in China; their village, Cizhu, is under the administration of the city of Bijie."
