  • Reuters：Ahead of inauguration, China says Taiwan to blame for any crisis
    Reuters reports: "Taiwan's new government will be to blame for any crisis with China that erupts once it assumes office, Beijing said on Wednesday, heaping on the pressure ahead of the inauguration of a new president from a pro-independence party. China and self-ruled Taiwan underwent a rapprochement under the outgoing government which was run by China-friendly Nationalists, but ties have begun to strain with their successors, the independence-leaning Tsai Ing-wen and her Democratic Progressive Party (DPP)...Tsai, who assumes office on May 20, has said she will maintain the status quo, but has never conceded to a key bilateral agreement referencing the "one China" principle, which has angered Beijing."

  • AP：Wall St. Sees Chinese Stimulus as a 'Ray of Sunshine'
    The Associated Press reports: "American stocks surged to their biggest gain in two months on Tuesday after the Chinese government moved to stimulate its economy. That gave a boost to energy, chemicals and machinery companies. For months, investors have worried about the state of China's economy, which is the world's second-largest after that of the United States. The prospect of greater sales to China lifted companies that make basic building materials, chemicals, aircraft, and building and mining equipment. The price of oil matched a six-month high, and companies that drill for oil and refine it also rose. All 10 industrial sectors of the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index finished higher."
