  • The Washington Post：China slams U.S.-South Korea military drills even as it stages naval war games of its own
    The Washington Post comments: "China and the United States have been trading accusations as both sides conduct war games across East Asia, and tensions are rising from the South China Sea to the East China Sea to the Korean Peninsula in the midst of a regional arms race....Yanmei Xie, senior China analyst with the International Crisis Group (ICG) in Beijing, says China's relations with its neighbors have deteriorated significantly, as the region continues to engage in an arms race. 'Before, the region was in the process of economic integration, the building of multilateral institutions, and regional governance by consensus,' she said. 'But in recent years, that has all been unraveling. In its place you have an arms race and the building-up of deterrents and the fracturing of multilateral institutions. It's not good.' Xie said Beijing and Washington have radically different explanations for the deterioration in the regional security environment. 'If you ask China, it's because of the U.S. pivot to Asia. If you ask anyone else, it's because of the emergence of a more assertive China,' she said."
  • The Wall Street Journal: China Real Time：Golden Girl of China Volleyball Finds Redemption in Olympic Triumph
    The Wall Street Journal: China Real Time comments: "For China, capturing Olympic gold in women's volleyball ended 12 years in the wilderness as faded giants of the sport. For Lang Ping, a former star player turned head coach, the victory in Rio sealed a sweet personal redemption. Twenty years ago, Ms. Lang reached the brink of Chinese sporting immortality—and faltered. She coached China's women's volleyball team to its second Olympic final, an arena where she once triumphed as a player, but her Midas touch failed her that night in Atlanta in 1996, when Cuba snagged the gold....Public salvation for the 55-year-old came Saturday when her Chinese team overcame first-time finalists Serbia by three sets to one. Ms. Lang became the first person to win Olympic volleyball gold as a player and coach. 'Today, through hard work and struggle, the girls have brought us gloriously back on top of the highest podium,' Ms. Lang wrote on her Weibo microblog. 'The effort and sweat we put in each and every day are the gold medals that life bestows upon us.'"
  • CNN：Highest and longest glass bridge opens over China's Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon
    CNN reports: "China just added a bunch of new claims to its planet-beating achievements -- this time its the world's sweatiest palms, the trembliest knees and the most-flipped stomachs. Oh yes -- and the world's highest and longest glass-bottomed bridge. Thousands of visitors have been steeling themselves to walk across the newly opened structure that spans the Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon in Hunan Province. The six-meter wide bridge stretches 430 meters over a 300-meter-deep valley between two cliffs in the beautiful Zhangjiajie Park, said to have inspired the scenery for the sci-fi movie 'Avatar.' Designed by Israeli architect Haim Dotan, the glass-bottomed bridge will also feature the world's highest bungee jump and serve as a runway for fashion shows. Visitors have been reportedly lining up for hours to cross the bridge, but although it can take 800 people at a time, access is being restricted to a maximum 8,000 a day."
