  • The Wall Street Journal：Japan Slams China Over Sea Strategy
    The Wall Street Journal reports: "Japan criticized China's maritime ambitions in East Asia, saying Japanese aircraft were scrambling more often in response to China's activities, and expressed alarm over North Korean progress in miniaturizing nuclear weapons....The paper from Japan's Defense Ministry describes China's actions in the disputed waters as 'highhanded' and says Beijing is 'making steady efforts to turn these coercive changes to the status quo into a fait accompli.' China's Defense Ministry said the Japanese document was 'filled with hostilities to the Chinese military,' according to the state news agency Xinhua."
  • The Washington Post：As lawyers' trials begin, China cites 'Western plot' to topple regime
    The Washington Post reports: "China kicked off trials for a group of lawyers and human rights activists Tuesday, accusing them of being part of a broad Western campaign to overthrow the one-party state by fomenting a 'color revolution.'...But the trials — at least three more are underway — have been accompanied by a campaign to humiliate and vilify the lawyers before the Chinese public....A video released Monday showed Wang Yu, one of the country's most respected human rights lawyers, confessing to having been trained by foreign forces to 'attack' and 'smear' the Chinese government....Zhai confessed Tuesday that a group of lawyers and citizens had conspired to 'push down the wall' — a Chinese expression for overthrowing the government — with the 'involvement of international society,' according to state news agency Xinhua. Human rights activists said the confessions appeared to have been made under extreme duress, and they denounced the secret trial as a sham."
  • Reuters：China's 'mosquito factory' aims to wipe out Zika, other diseases
    Reuters reports: "Every week, scientists in southern China release 3 million bacteria-infected mosquitoes on a 3 km (two-mile) long island in a bid to wipe out diseases such as dengue, yellow fever and Zika. The scientists inject mosquito eggs with wolbachia bacteria in a laboratory, then release infected male mosquitoes on the island on the outskirts of the city of Guangzhou. The bacteria, which occurs naturally in about 28 percent of wild mosquitoes, causes infected males to sterilize the females they mate with. 'The aim is trying to suppress the mosquito density below the threshold which can cause disease transmission,' said Zhiyong Xi, who is director of the Sun Yat-sen University Centre of Vector Control for Tropical Diseases and pioneered the idea."
