  • The New York Times：China Blocks U.S. Navy Flotilla's Visit to Hong Kong
    The New York Times reports: "The Chinese government on Thursday denied a Navy flotilla access to the port in Hong Kong, Pentagon officials said Friday, the latest sign of escalating tension between the United States and China. The rare refusal to allow the aircraft carrier John C. Stennis, and several other vessels accompanying it, to visit the port comes two weeks after the Stennis hosted the defense secretary, Ashton B. Carter, on a visit to the South China Sea, where the United States is challenging what it sees as excessive maritime claims by China....The denial was the first time the Chinese government had refused to allow an American aircraft carrier into the port in Hong Kong since August 2014, according to Pentagon officials."
  • The Washington Post：China's Communist Party places outspoken tycoon on probation
    The Associated Press reports: "China's Communist Party has placed a property mogul and outspoken government critic on probation for a year after he criticized state media for pledging absolute loyalty to the party....The party's Xicheng District committee in Beijing deemed that Ren's 'erroneous remarks' online 'seriously violated the party's political discipline,' the local government's website said in a posting Monday....Ren's microblogging account, which had 30 million followers, was shut down later that month following his remarks about the media. The country's Internet regulator said then that Ren had published illegal information that harbored 'evil influence.'"
  • Reuters：China trains 'fishing militia' to sail into disputed waters
    Reuters reports: "The fishing fleet based in this tiny port town on Hainan island is getting everything from military training and subsidies to even fuel and ice as China creates an increasingly sophisticated fishing militia to sail into the disputed South China Sea. The training and support includes exercises at sea and requests to fishermen to gather information on foreign vessels, provincial government officials, regional diplomats and fishing company executives said in recent interviews....But the fishing militia also raises the risk of conflict with foreign navies in the strategic waterway through which $5 trillion of trade passes each year, diplomats and naval experts say."
