  • Reuters：U.S.-Vietnam ties should not put Asia stability at risk: China's Xinhua
    Reuters reports: "Improving ties between the United States and Vietnam should not put peace and stability in Asia at risk, China's state news agency said, as U.S. President Barack Obama began his first visit to Vietnam, which hopes Washington will scrap its arms embargo....'It is welcome that Vietnam improves its ties with any other country, including the United States. However, such rapprochement should not be used by the United States as a tool to threaten or even damage the strategic interests of a third country,' the official Xinhua news agency said in a commentary late on Sunday. Vietnam has said it would welcome the United States 'accelerating' the lifting of a lethal arms embargo, and U.S. officials were finalizing a decision on the issue."
  • The Washington Post：Hundreds in central China protest lack of college placements
    The Associated Press reports: "Some 500 people on Sunday protested what they say is a lack of university student placements in their central China province, in the latest protest over education reform....This year, the ministry says at least an additional 16,800 Henan students will be able to study in other provinces. But 820,000 Henan students have applied to take the university entrance exam this year, and the protesters say more placements are needed....Protests over reform to college enrollment quotas also took place last weekend in nearby provinces, Hubei and Jiangsu. However, those parents were against cuts in the numbers of college placements for locals in their areas to enable more students from poorer provinces, like Henan, to have more access to universities."
