  • The Washington Post：China testing Obama as it expands its influence in Southeast Asia
    The Washington Post reports: "The Obama administration has been forcefully trying for nearly six years to prod China to abide by the usual international rules and to curb Beijing's controversial claims of Chinese sovereignty over a maritime corridor in Southeast Asia. But new evidence is emerging that China has been playing a familiar game of ignoring U.S. warnings or concerns, this time by installing radar, missiles and jet fighters on a series of reefs and atolls over which it has asserted control in the South China Sea....The disclosure of China's maneuvers — coming a week after Obama declared that the United States 'will continue to fly, sail and operate wherever international law allows' — prompted the top U.S. military commander in the Pacific to warn Congress that China's ultimate goal is to achieve 'hegemony' in Asia."
  • The New York Times：Statistics From China Say Coal Consumption Continues to Drop
    The New York Times reports: "China has released new statistics indicating that it used less coal last year than in 2014, lending support to the view that the country, the world's largest emitter of carbon dioxide, may be reaching a peak in coal consumption....Much of the world is watching China's actions on carbon emissions, since it is responsible for about half of the world's coal consumption. President Xi Jinping has said that China intends for its greenhouse gas emissions to stop growing around 2030. Some climate experts in China say the peak could come earlier, closer to 2025."
  • The Wall Street Journal：China's Xi Jinping Puts Loyalty to the Test at Congress
    The Wall Street Journal reports: "Mr. Xi's clout is set to be tested over the next two weeks, when roughly 3,000 lawmakers meet in Beijing to go over his economic blueprint for the next five years. Among them are officials resentful of the president's attacks on vested interests, and technocrats concerned that Mr. Xi's ideological campaigning could stifle much-needed reforms for China's growth model....China's annual legislative session is largely a ceremonial affair, though behind closed doors it can be the stage for contentious policy debates and power struggles....Mr. Xi's full-court press for political orthodoxy suggests that his priority, in his fourth year as leader, is to secure the allegiance of a party unsettled by his anticorruption shake-up and China's deepening economic woes."
