  • The New York Times：China Curbs Plans for More Coal-Fired Power Plants
    The New York Times reports: "In guidelines released on Monday, China halted plans for new coal-fired power stations in many parts of the country, and construction of some approved plants will be postponed until at least 2018. The announcement, by the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration, means that about 200 planned coal-fired power generators — those seeking approval and those approved but not yet under construction — may not be completed, said Lauri Myllyvirta, who analyzes China's energy production for Greenpeace....China, by far the world's biggest emitter of greenhouse gasses, is aiming to reach a peak in carbon emissions by 2030."
  • The Washington Post：Chinese airline passengers detained over ground crew assault
    The Associated Press reports: "Police in southern China have detained three airline passengers after they were caught on video slapping, verbally abusing and throwing food at ground staff in anger over a delayed flight, state media reported Tuesday. Video of Monday's incident at the airport in the city of Changsha has circulated widely on the Internet as the latest example of bad behavior by Chinese airline passengers....Concerned over such incidents on the ground and in the air, China's government has created a black list for airline passengers found to be acting disruptively or dangerously. The list is made public, and airlines, hotels and other travel professionals can use such a designation as grounds for refusing service."
  • The Guardian：Chinese corruption gets House of Cards treatment with Communist mini-series
    The Guardian reports: "Xi Jinping's bid to root out corruption from the 88m-member Communist party is to get the Netflix treatment after Beijing commissioned a £12.7m television drama celebrating the Chinese president's campaign. In the Name of the People - a 42-part series being bankrolled by China's top law enforcement agency - is scheduled for broadcast later this year and will reportedly be the first series in which one of the party's most senior leaders is portrayed as a villain....in an interview with the Beijing Youth Daily newspaper, director Fan Ziwen said officials had approved their series because they believed it would highlight efforts to eradicate corruption rather than simply showing how rotten the system had become."
