  • Reuters：U.S. plans third patrol near disputed South China Sea islands: source
    Reuters reports: "The U.S. Navy plans to conduct another passage near disputed islands in the South China Sea in early April, a source familiar with the plan said on Friday, the third in a series of challenges that have drawn sharps rebukes from China. Other U.S. officials, speaking after Reuters reported the plan, disputed that such an exercise was imminent. But they made clear Washington will continue to challenge what it considers Beijing's unfounded maritime claims....'We routinely conduct such operations throughout the world to challenge maritime claims that would unlawfully restrict rights and freedoms provided in international law. This applies to the South China Sea as well,' said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity."
  • The Washington Post：The Panama Papers are super awkward for Beijing
    The Washington Post reports: "The Panama Papers, a massive report that claims to document shady business dealings by a who's who of the global elite, landed in China on a national holiday, presenting the authorities with an interesting, probably vexing, question: How to scrub the web of the juicy-but-as-yet-unconfirmed disclosures about politically connected Chinese? The findings -- the result of a year-long collaboration between a German newspaper, Süddeutsche Zeitung, the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists and more than 100 media outlets -- sets out to expose 'a cast of characters who use offshore companies to facilitate bribery, arms deals, tax evasion and drug trafficking.'...That includes, by ICIJ's count, dirt on 140 political figures, including 12 current or former heads of state. It also names the family members of eight current or former members of China's politburo."
  • The New York Times：China's Carbon Emissions May Have Peaked, but It's Hazy
    The New York Times reports: "A year and a half ago, negotiators from the United States persuaded the Chinese government to commit to a deadline for reversing the growth in greenhouse gas emissions from China. The Obama administration portrayed the pledge as a major victory because China produces more of the gases that cause global warming than any other country, a quarter of the world's total. Though the deadline was far off, in 2030, environmentalists said the concession by Beijing was a significant breakthrough in efforts to coordinate a global response to climate change. Now, some researchers examining recent energy data and the slowing Chinese economy are asking whether emissions of carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas, are already falling in China — more than a decade earlier than expected."
