  • The Wall Street Journal reports: "The U.S. will urge China to put further pressure on North Korea to give up its nuclear program during meetings in Beijing next week, a senior U.S. Treasury official said on Friday, days after Washington took fresh action to cut North Korea off from global finance. 'China has the ability to both create pressure and use that as a leverage that is a very important part of global efforts to isolate North Korea and get North Korea to change its policies,' said the official, speaking to journalists during a visit to Seoul by Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew. U.S. officials, including Secretary of State John Kerry and Mr. Lew, will head to Beijing early next week for the U.S.-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue, an annual meeting on economic and security issues."
  • Bloomberg Business reports: "Two weeks into the job, Taiwan's new president is bringing clarity to her policy toward China, and the result may be more turbulent times with leaders in Beijing....'Tsai has made clear policy choices in her first few days in office, distinguishing Taiwan from China on nearly every front -- political, economic, cultural and foreign relations,' said Chang Ling-chen, a professor of political science at National Taiwan University. 'The incomplete answer sheet won't get completed. Now the only question is how long the mainland will wait before taking action?'"
  • Reuters reports: "China on Friday asked the United States to respect the fight against what Beijing says are militants in the far western region of Xinjiang, after Washington expressed concern about the lack of transparency in China's anti-terror campaign....The U.S. State Department, in its annual report on terrorism around the world, said there was a lack of transparency or information from China about incidents Beijing called terrorism, and said counter-terrorism cooperation was limited. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said China was 'dissatisfied' with what she said were inaccurate remarks about China, and expressed regret at the 'unobjective evaluation' of counter-terrorism cooperation. 'We cannot accept the United States issuing reports like this making thoughtless remarks about counter-terrorism policy in China and other countries,' she told a daily news briefing."
