  • The Washington Post reports: "Beijing on Tuesday strongly criticized a statement from foreign ministers of the Group of 7 industrialized countries taking aim at China's island-building activities in disputed sections of the South China Sea. For the second straight day, Foreign Ministry spokesman Lu Kang defended China's land-reclamation work in the Spratly island group and accused the G-7 of diverging from its mission of safeguarding the global economy....On Monday, the G-7 ministers had issued their own statement expressing strong opposition to any 'intimidating, coercive or provocative unilateral actions that could alter the status quo and increase tensions.'"
  • The New York Times reports: "Navy investigators believed that Commander Lin provided secret information to a Chinese girlfriend. The officials could not say how the information was then passed on to Taiwanese or Chinese officials, but Commander Lin, a flight officer who worked on Navy spy planes, is accused of communicating secret information knowing that it would be used by a foreign government....For Commander Lin, who moved to the United States as a teenager, the allegations represent a huge reversal. The Navy had held him up as an example of what immigrants can achieve in the United States and in the military. The Navy featured his personal story in December 2008 in a public affairs report on his naturalization ceremony, which took place in the United States District Court in Honolulu."
  • Reuters reports: "Twenty-five Chinese technology companies have signed a pledge to counter images and information online that promote terrorism, the internet regulator said on Tuesday, months after China passed a controversial new anti-terrorism law.The Cyberspace Administration of China said the companies had promised to 'handle in a timely way terror-related harmful, illegal information, create a clear internet space and maintain social stability'....The regulator said that more than 25,000 posts, 4,000 videos and 200 accounts had been removed from the internet so far this year that involve illegal, terror-related content."
