  • The New York Times reports: "President Obama refused to bash China when he ran for the White House in 2008, which set him apart from other candidates. None of Mr. Obama's would-be successors are showing similar restraint. Some, like Donald J. Trump, are bashing Beijing with gleeful abandon....The surge in anti-China sentiment on the campaign trail will cast a shadow over the Obama-Xi meeting, and it could have ominous consequences for China's relationship with the United States after Mr. Obama leaves office. Experts on China said the Chinese were taking the vitriol more seriously than in previous elections, viewing it as a gauge of American intentions."
  • The Washington Post reports: "The leaders of China, India, Japan and South Korea are among the heads of government converging on Washington for a summit on countering the nightmarish threat of nuclear terrorism. But with tensions in North Korea and the South China Sea running high, the meetings that Asian leaders have on the sidelines could attract more attention than the summit itself. President Barack Obama has put a premium on expanding ties with Asia, in part to counter the rise of China. The U.S. has deepened ties with India, and strengthened long-standing alliances with Japan and South Korea while prodding these two core East Asian allies to overcome their historical differences."
  • The Financial Times reports: "A new generation of Chinese intercontinental ballistic missiles may come into service as early as this year and will herald a period of rapid nuclear build-up by China, according to experts. With a 14,500km estimated range, the DF-41 is the first Chinese missile capable of carrying multiple warheads that can strike any part of the US from anywhere in China. Previous missiles have been more limited....The news comes as US President Barack Obama prepares to meet China's President Xi Jinping at a nuclear security summit in Washington on Thursday."
