  • Reuters：China says wants peace after newspaper warns on South China Sea clash
    Reuters reports: "China's government sought to downplay fears of conflict in the South China Sea after an influential state-run newspaper said on Tuesday that Beijing should prepare for military confrontation in the area....The newspaper said the dispute had already been complicated by U.S. intervention and now faced further escalation due to the threat posed by the tribunal to China's sovereignty. 'Washington has deployed two carrier battle groups around the South China Sea, and it wants to send a signal by flexing its muscles: As the biggest powerhouse in the region, it awaits China's obedience,' the Global Times said....China, which has been angered by U.S. patrols in the South China Sea, will be holding military drills in the waters there starting from Tuesday. China's Defence Ministry said the drills are routine, the official China Daily reported."

If he does not return, he could face harsher penalties, the mainland authorities said."
