  • Reuters：S.Korea, U.S. formally decide to deploy THAAD missile defence
    Reuters reports that South Korea said on Friday it has made a final decision together with the United States to deploy an advanced missile defense system with the U.S. military stationed in South Korea to counter North Korea's missile threat.The Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) anti-missile system will be deployed solely to counter the threat from the North, South Korea's defence ministry said in a statement, adding that it aims for a deployment "soon".China, which has backed tough U.N. sanctions against the North after Pyongyang's nuclear test and a long-range rocket launch this year, has objected to the proposed THAAD deployment in the South as its radar can reach into its territory.A joint South Korea-U.S. working groups is preparing to determine the best location for deploying THAAD, the South said.

  • The Financial Times：Walmart workers launch wildcat strikes across China
    The Financial Times reports: "Walmart staff across China have launched a series of wildcat strikes against the company's new working-hours system, in an unprecedented bout of nationwide co-ordination by workers....The strike has realised the Communist party's fear of co-ordinated cross-country labour unrest just as China prepares to lay off millions of workers as a result of the industrial slowdown. The number of worker disputes in the country has soared in recent years, doubling from 2014 to reach 2,774 protests in 2015, according to China Labour Bulletin, a Hong Kong-based workers' rights organisation....Chinese workers have extended their solidarity to Walmart's workers in the US, who also lack the backing of an official union. 'We have reason to believe that your conditions today will be ours tomorrow,' read an open letter to Walmart US workers on the [Walmart Chinese Workers' Association] blog."
