  • The Wall Street Journal：How China Wastes Its Renewable Energy
    The Wall Street Journal comments: "Last year, China was one of the first countries to submit its detailed plan for bringing down carbon emissions as part of the United Nations' process to address global climate change....Both China and the U.S. recently ratified the agreement, putting more legal weight behind these commitments....Key to turning these commitments into reality is China's plan to dramatically scale up renewable energy from wind, solar, geothermal and other low- or no-carbon sources....But there's a cloud behind this silver lining: China may be the global leader in renewable energy investment, but it's also the leader in the percentage of that energy that never reaches consumers. China's wasted, or 'curtailed,' wind energy averages about 21% nationally, reaching as high as 40% in some provinces. If these curtailment figures continue, China will have a hard time reaching its carbon-peaking commitments, or for that matter, any of its international climate goals."
  • Reuters：'New turning point' for ties, China tells Philippines visitors
    Reuters reports: "Relations between China and the Philippines are at a turning point, a top Chinese diplomat has told a visiting Philippine delegation, adding that China hopes the Philippines can handle disputes 'appropriately' and get relations back on track....Liu said their bilateral relations had "sunk to a low edge for reasons everyone knows', China's Foreign Ministry said in a statement issued late on Tuesday. 'At present, China-Philippine relations are at a new turning point,' it quoted Liu saying, adding that China hoped the Philippines 'can meet China halfway, appropriately handle disputes and push relations back onto the track of dialogue, consultation and friendly cooperation'." 
  • The Washington Post：US voices concern over Chinese money in Australian politics
    The Washington Post reports: "Ambassador John Berry said in an interview with The Australian newspaper that the United States is 'surprised' by the amount of Chinese money and influence in Australian politics and wants Australia to resolve the foreign donation issue....Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull pointed to a Chinese language news report that quoted Dastyari as saying, 'The South China Sea is China's own affair.' Turnbull said that statement contradicted both the government and the opposition's foreign policy position that China should respect international law in territorial disputes. The prime minister accused Dastyari, who has been dubbed Shanghai Sam, of saying what Chinese donors paid him to say....Unlike the United States, which bans foreign donations, Australian law has never distinguished between donors from Australia and overseas. Berry said the United States hopes that Australia will protect its 'core responsibilities against undue influence from governments that don't share our values.'"
