  • The New York Times：China to Philippines: No Sea Feud Talk at APEC Summit
    The Associated Press reports: "China's top diplomat asked the Philippines Tuesday not to raise contentious issues — an obvious reference to the Asian neighbors' territorial spats — in an annual economic summit of Asia-Pacific leaders in Manila next week, a Filipino official said...Non-inclusion of the thorny topic would also shield Chinese President Xi Jinping, who is expected to attend the Nov. 18-19 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum in Manila, from a potentially embarrassing confrontation...In Beijing, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said Monday that the 'bilateral relationship is beset by difficulties due to reasons known to all.' But he said that China 'attaches importance to its relationship with the Philippines and stays committed to properly resolving relevant issues through consultations and negotiations.'"
  • CNN：Thick haze in China could be there for days, authorities warn
    CNN reports: "The thick haze shrouding a large area of northeastern China could hang around until Saturday, authorities warn. It started on the weekend as temperatures dropped and cities started burning coal to keep warm. 'Many cities in China, including the northeastern provinces, use coal as the major heat generator, which pushes up air pollution levels'...The dangerous acrid haze blanketed the provincial capital, slashing visibility. At least 87 flights were delayed or canceled as of 8 a.m. on Monday. Highways connecting Changchun and other cities in the province were completely or partially closed, state media said. Local hospitals filled up with patients suffering from respiratory ailments and shops sold out of face masks."
  • The New York Times：China's Crackdown on Financial Markets Gets Top-Level Support

    The New York Times reports: "President Xi Jinping of China called for more measures to protect stock market investors after meeting with financial regulators, the state news media said on Tuesday, signaling top-level support for a national campaign to crack down on market manipulation and to increase transparency. Xu Xiang, the billionaire owner of a Chinese investment firm who is sometimes compared to Carl Icahn, was detained on suspicion of insider trading on Nov. 1 and has been held incommunicado. In the days since, Chinese government officials appear to have broadened their investigation, amid the adoption of new regulatory measures. China Securities Journal, a semiofficial Chinese publication, said on Tuesday that public security agencies had frozen accounts totaling 4.3 billion renminbi, or about $675 million, that belong to a woman whom the Chinese news media have identified as Mr. Xu's mother."
