  • The Washington Post：G-7 leaders express concern over South China Sea, urge peace
    The Washington Post reports: "The leaders of the Group of Seven countries expressed concern Friday over China's increasingly assertive activity in the East and South China seas, renewing their warnings against one-sided attempts to change the situation, and stressed the importance of peaceful resolutions. In a declaration wrapping up their annual summit, the G-7 leaders called for regional and international cooperation on preserving freedom of navigation in the regional seas and cooperating to use the ocean in a sustainable way....The construction of islands on land reclaimed in the South China Sea was not formally on the G-7 agenda during its meetings in this seaside resort on Japan's Pacific Coast. But officials indicated it was a concern. U.N. Secretary of General Ban Ki-moon, who was attending talks on the sidelines of the summit, urged that China and ASEAN member nations reach agreement soon on a 'Code of Conduct' to avoid further escalation of disputes in the region."
  • Reuters：China faces headaches from warming Vietnam-U.S. ties
    Reuters reports: "As U.S. President Barack Obama marked one of his last trips to Asia by the historic lifting of Washington's arms embargo on Vietnam, he repeatedly insisted it was not directed at Beijing. And yet regional military sources and security analysts say China will face short and longer term strategic headaches from the fully normalized relationship between former enemies in Hanoi and Washington. Operationally, China faces the short-term prospect of Vietnam obtaining U.S.-sourced radars and sensors, surveillance planes and drones to better monitor and target Chinese forces, the analysts say. In the longer term, the move makes Hanoi a key player in Obama's strategic pivot to East Asia....Chinese official reaction has so far been muted."
  • Reuters：U.S. panel launches trade secret theft probe into China steel
    Reuters reports: "U.S. regulators launched an investigation on Thursday into complaints by United States Steel Corp that Chinese competitors stole its secrets and fixed prices, in the latest trade spat between the two countries. U.S. Steel is seeking to halt nearly all imports from China's largest steel producers and trading houses, in its complaint made under section 337 of the main U.S. tariff law....U.S. Steel Chairman Mario Longhi applauded the [International Trade Commission's] decision to investigate claims which include that Chinese producers falsely named other countries as the origin of their products and illegally transhipped them through third countries to avoid anti-dumping and anti-subsidy duties. 'We remain confident that the evidence will prove the Chinese steel producers engaged in collusion, theft and fraud and we will aggressively seek to stop those responsible for these illegal trade actions,' Longhi said in a statement."
