  • TIME：China Will Have to Get Used to Being a Terrorist Target
    TIME reports: "China isn't immune to global terrorism. That's one of the troubling lessons of yesterday's suicide attack on the Chinese embassy in Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan...Echoing media reports in Kyrgyzstan, Li Wei, a terrorism expert at the China Institutes of Contemporary International Relations, which is associated with China's Ministry of State Security, tells TIME he believes the attack was instigated by a separatist group of ethnic Uighurs, a Turkic Muslim minority native to China's northwest and other parts of Central Asia...For years, Beijing has placed its foreign policy in a kind of silo, maintaining that it stays out of other nations' internal affairs and doesn't attach strings to its foreign aid. The West might meddle with clumsy attempts at regime change, the official Chinese thinking went, but Beijing was savvier and more respectful of other nations' sovereignty...'Most countries along the One Belt, One Road initiative have security problems,' says terrorism expert Li. 'If we can't solve the problems, it will influence the promotion of One Belt, One Road. It means the projects will have high risks.' Beijing will need to get used to such global hazards."
  • The Washington Post：In his father's footsteps, Justin Trudeau is looking to be big in China
    The Washington Post comments: "Like Chinese President Xi Jinping, Justin Trudeau is a princeling who walks and rules in the shadow of his well-known dad. Justin Trudeau's father, Pierre Elliott Trudeau, served as Canadian prime minister from 1968 to 1979 and 1980 to 1984, visiting China several times. Trudeau the elder earned the affection of China's leaders by recognizing the People's Republic of China in 1970 — nine years before the United States. He made an official visit in 1973, meeting with Chairman Mao after marathon talks with with Premier Zhou Enlai....Trudeau wants that legacy. His messaging this week is all about a 'reset' in relations, perhaps because of the scolding that China's foreign minister, Wang Yi, gave a Canadian reporter who dared to ask about human rights during his recent visit to Ottawa."
  • The Wall Street Journal: China Real Time：China Breaks Into Song Over the G-20
    The Wall Street Journal comments: "A gathering of gravely suited global leaders doesn't usually make one want to burst out into song. But this is China, and as the country prepares to host the Group of 20 economic-summit meeting this weekend in the eastern city of Hangzhou, it has been pulling out all the musical stops. First it was 'Welcome to Hangzhou,' a music video released by the province's Communist Youth League earlier this month that features scenes of the city...overlaid with lyrics expressing a deep enthusiasm for the event's participants....Now, the country's state broadcaster has published another video, 'Liking You, Liking Being Together,' a similarly stylized take that seeks to welcome the G20 roster of foreign dignitaries—from Barack Obama to Vladimir Putin—many of whom aren't known for getting along with one another....Government-backed music videos seeking to extol China's accomplishments for a mass audience are a genre staple in the country."
