  • Reuters：China denies reports of massing troops at North Korea border
    Reuters reports: "China's Defense Ministry on Friday denied reports that Chinese troops were massing on the North Korean border, ahead of a possible fifth North Korean nuclear test, saying its deployments there were normal. The Hong Kong-based Information Center for Human Rights and Democracy said earlier this week that China had sent 2,000 troops to the border, a story picked up by Russian and Iranian news outlets, among others....'The relevant report does not accord with the facts,' the Defense Ministry said in a short statement. 'The Chinese military maintains normal combat readiness and training on the China-North Korea border.'...Reports periodically surface about unusual troops movements on the border, which are hard to verify independently and generally quickly denied by the Chinese government."
  • The New York Times：Apple Services Shut Down in China in Startling About-Face
    The New York Times reports: "Last week, Apple's iBooks Store and iTunes Movies were shut down in China, just six months after they were started there....The company counts China as its second-largest market after the United States....China has sweeping goals in its move against Apple, said Daniel H. Rosen, founding partner of Rhodium Group, a New-York based advisory firm specializing in the Chinese economy. 'They are interested in protecting the content that the Chinese people see, policing its national security and favoring indigenous giants such as Huawei, Alibaba and Tencent,' Mr. Rosen said. In this new era, he added, China 'is strongly disinclined to accept the dominance of foreign players on the Internet, not least those from the United States.'"
  • The Washington Post：China plans to land on Mars by 2020
    The Washington Post reports: "Work is proceeding quickly on China's planned mission to land a rover on Mars by 2020, the chief administrator of the country's ambitious space program said Friday. Formally announced in January, China's Mars voyage will attempt to recreate the success of the U.S. Viking 1 mission that landed a rover on the planet four decades ago. 'What we would like to do is to orbit Mars, make a landing, and rove around for reconnaissance in one mission, which is quite a challenge,' China National Space Administration head Xu Dazhe said at a rare news conference. 'This is a project that has attracted much attention from both the science and space fields.' Xu said China will further explore civilian uses of space technology in areas such as navigation, remote sensing and communications, and will seek international collaborations."
