  • The Associated Press：Recent Developments Surrounding the South China Sea
    The Associated Press reports: "Satellite imagery suggests Vietnam has extended a runway and constructed new hangars on one of the disputed Spratly islands it controls, apparently enabling it to accommodate surveillance aircraft there. China's Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang on Friday demanded Vietnam stop construction 'on China's territory.'...China's first aircraft carrier is ready to engage in combat, marking a milestone for a navy that has invested heavily in its ability to project power far from China's shores. The Liaoning 's political commissar, Senior Capt. Li Dongyou, said...that his ship is 'constantly prepared to fight against enemies,' " 
  • The New York Times：Villager's Execution in China Ignites Uproar Over Inequality of Justice
    The New York Times reports: "President Xi Jinping has made restoring confidence in Chinese courts a centerpiece of his rule, vowing to promote 'social justice and equality' in a legal system long plagued by favoritism and abuse. Since coming to power in 2012, he has led a high-profile campaign against corruption, ensnaring thousands of low-level officials and even some of the party's most senior leaders. But the furor over the execution of Mr. Jia, who had sought revenge on officials for demolishing his home, has raised doubts about Mr. Xi's efforts, with people across the country publicly assailing inequities in the justice system and asking why high-level officials often escape the death penalty. 'The perception is that the people are powerless and vulnerable against corrupt officials,' said Fu Hualing, a law professor at the University of Hong Kong."
  • The Financial Times：China manoeuvres to fill US free-trade role
    The Financial Times reports: "Mr Obama's 'pivot' to Asia, and the now-stalled Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal that was supposed to be its economic backbone, have for years given the US a leadership role at the annual Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit. But the election of Donald Trump, who campaigned on a protectionist platform and against Mr Obama's TPP, has rewritten that formula...the US-China relationship [is] at a critical juncture. During his campaign Mr Trump threatened to label China a currency manipulator and promised a more aggressive approach to relations between the world's two largest economies...in public and private meetings APEC officials said the realities of a rapid shift in power to China following Mr Trump's victory were apparent in Lima. 'There is a different dynamic around the table. People are hedging their bets,' said one senior official."
