  • The Washington Post：Democrat attacks policy on China, Republican defends it
    The Washington Post reports: "President Barack Obama's policy on the disputed South China Sea came under attack Tuesday from a fellow Democrat, and in an unusual twist, it was a Republican adversary who leapt to the administration's defense....Rep. Brad Sherman of California, the panel's top-ranking Democrat, accused the administration of exaggerating the importance of uninhabited islands in the region's contested seas. He contended that the Pentagon was also playing up the threat posed by China, which has territorial disputes with several of its neighbors....Daniel Russel, top diplomat for East Asia, responded that the U.S. was standing up for international norms and had a 'vital' economic and security interests there....Rep. Matt Salmon of Arizona, Republican chair of the panel, agreed. He said if the islands have no value, 'then why is China building runways on them?'"
  • The New York Times：China Sentences Man to Death for Espionage, Saying He Sold Secrets
    The New York Times reports: "In a sign of China's increasingly aggressive efforts to combat espionage and other security threats, the government said it had sentenced a former computer technician to death for selling 150,000 classified documents to foreign spies, according to state media reports on Tuesday. The man, Huang Yu, 41, worked for a research institute specializing in cryptography in Chengdu, a city in southwestern China. He sold the materials, which included military codes, from 2002 to 2011, making about $700,000, the state-run broadcaster China Central Television reported....Mr. Huang's death sentence was the first known case of a Chinese citizen's receiving the death penalty for espionage since 2008, when the government executed a biomedical researcher and a distant relative of his, accusing them of passing secrets to Taiwan."
  • The Wall Street Journal：Twitter Goes on Defensive About China Head's Background
    The Wall Street Journal reports: "Twitter Inc.'s hiring of a Chinese tech executive with past links to China's military and security agencies but little social media experience has raised concerns about the company's strategy in the massive China market, where it remains blocked. While there is no indication that Kathy Chen, who left Microsoft Corp. to become Twitter's managing director for China last week, maintains connections with the People's Liberation Army or China's security apparatus, her history has unsettled many Chinese users of Twitter....Twitter declined to make Ms. Chen, who is based in Hong Kong, available for comment."
