  • Reuters：U.S. presses China to reduce barriers for foreign business
    Reuters reports: "Senior U.S. officials pressed China again on Tuesday to reduce barriers for foreign businesses, saying concerns had grown as the regulatory environment became more complex, and they also bought up concerns over a new law on foreign non-governmental groups....'Our two governments have a responsibility to foster conditions that facilitate continued and increased investment, trade, and commercial cooperation,' [U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew] said, on the second day of high-level talks between the two countries in Beijing....Secretary of State John Kerry, speaking at the same event, said that as the two economies become more intertwined in shared prosperity, they have more 'skin in the game' to keep their economic relationship on an even keel....In a press conference marking the end of the talks, Kerry said President Xi Jinping gave assurances that China 'intends to remain open' and 'does not see that these laws are going to be applied in any way whatsoever that affects the ability to open up and to do business'."
  • The Wall Street Journal：China Shrugs Off U.S., Confident in Its Magnetic Allure
    The Wall Street Journal reports: "By alarming neighbors with its activities in the South China Sea, China risks 'erecting a Great Wall of self-isolation,' U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter told a high-level security gathering in Singapore over the weekend, drawing an instant rebuke from a Chinese admiral. 'We were not isolated in the past, we are not isolated now, and we will not be isolated in the future,' retorted Sun Jianguo, deputy chief of the Joint Staff Department of China's Central Military Commission....In fact, China's size and influence at the heart of the world's fastest-growing region—inextricably linked to its neighbors by transport, logistics and financial networks—is partly what emboldens China in its escalating regional rivalry with the U.S., while limiting the Pentagon's military options and, at times, making it look like a paper tiger....Indeed, the centrality of China, not just as a regional player but in global affairs—everything from Middle East security to climate change—makes it a rival like none other America has faced. The Pentagon, despite its often blunt rhetoric, tiptoes carefully."
  • The New York Times：U.S. and China Offer Competing Views on Disputed Sea
    The New York Times reports: "Secretary of State John Kerry and his Chinese counterpart laid out diverging positions regarding the South China Sea on Tuesday, indicating that annual talks between the United States and China had done little to bridge the differences over what has become one of the most volatile issues in their relationship....On Tuesday, at the end of what is called the Strategic and Economic Dialogue, Mr. Kerry praised the talks as an 'essential mechanism' to air differences and nurture cooperation. But comments both by Mr. Kerry and by State Councilor Yang Jiechi of China suggested that their governments remained far apart on the continuing disputes in the South China Sea."
