  • The Wall Street Journal：U.S. Backs Philippines in Call for South China Sea Talks
    The Wall Street Journal reports: "U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry signaled that Beijing must recognize an international tribunal's ruling against its sweeping claims in the South China Sea when negotiating with the Philippines over disputes in the strategic waters. Speaking in the Philippines, Mr. Kerry backed Manila's assertion that any talks over the sea must have that ruling as its basis. 'Our friend and ally, the Philippines, can only do so on terms that are acceptable to the government of the Philippines,' he said....Beijing and Manila said this week they hoped to continue efforts to negotiate their differences over the South China Sea. But both also are constrained by their domestic politics in how far they can compromise."
  • Reuters：Philippines says ASEAN omission of arbitration case not a Chinese victory
    Reuters reports: "The Philippines 'vigorously pushed' for the inclusion of comment on an arbitration ruling in a joint statement from Southeast Asian countries but its failure to secure that was no diplomatic win for China, Manila's foreign minister said on Wednesday. The Philippines had not sought support from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) or the international community in its arbitration case against Beijing over the South China Sea, and did not want to press the issue and risk dividing the group or provoking China, Perfecto Yasay said....'I am just saying this to dispel the reports that have been said that China came out victorious in the ASEAN meeting because we precisely agreed to not mentioning the arbitral award,' Yasay told a news conference. 'But that (was) not the object of our meeting in ASEAN. The arbitral award is a matter between China and the Philippines.'" 
  • The Washington Post：China sentences Hong Kong journalists to up to 5 years in prison
    The Associated Press reports: "A southern Chinese court has sentenced four people, including at least two Hong Kong journalists, to prison on charges of running an illegal business after they reportedly sent copies of their sensitive political magazines to mainland China....Two of those convicted in Shenzhen included Hong Kong magazine publisher Wang Jianmin and editor Guo Zhongxiao, who were arrested in 2014 in the border city, according to Hong Kong media. The two men published New Way Monthly and Faces, two journals that often delved into high-level Communist Party power struggles....Reports cited Wang's lawyers as saying their clients were not running a mail-order business and had sent only eight copies of the magazines to friends in China. Wang was also convicted on collusion and bribery charges."
