  • The Diplomat：What Should China and the US Do About North Korea?
    The Diplomat comments: "With Trump taking control of the White House, the North Korean nuclear game has entered another round. On the U.S. side, the Obama administration's 'strategic patience' policy is recognized as unsuccessful, but Trump seems not to have better a path toward the same goal. As for North Korea, although the DPRK has achieved a series of breakthroughs in nuclear and missile technology over the past decade, since the Six Party Talks were discontinued, its strategic situation is getting worse...As it contemplates what to do about North Korea, the Trump administration might be well advised to avoid the mistakes of its predecessors...To prevent the DPRK from becoming a nuclear power, the United States, South Korea, and China should work together and synchronize their response measures. Synchronization hinges on the depth of mutual trust and this common trust can only be built on the thorough knowledge of each other's strategic goals and interest calculation...China needs to reassess its future policies toward the Koreas and it is time to put the eventual unification of the nations on the agenda."
  • The Washington Post：China plans 1st structure on disputed South China Sea shoal
    The Wall street Journal reports: "China plans to build the first permanent structure on a South China Sea shoal at the heart of a territorial dispute with the Philippines, in a move likely to renew concerns over Beijing's robust assertions of its claims in the strategically crucial waterbody. The top official in Sansha City that has administered China's island claims since 2012 was quoted by the official Hainan Daily newspaper as saying that preparations were underway to build an environmental monitoring station on Scarborough Shoal off the northwestern Philippines. The preparatory work on the stations and others on five other islands in the strategically vital waterway was among the government's top priorities for 2017, Sansha Communist Party Secretary Xiao Jie was quoted as saying in an interview published in the paper's Monday edition seen online Friday in Beijing. No other details were...The topic is likely to be high on the agenda when Tillerson visits Beijing for talks with top officials on Saturday and Sunday."
  • The Associated Press：China, Saudi Arabia sign $65 billion in cooperation deals
    The Associated Press reports: "Saudi Arabia's King Salman met with China's premier on Friday, a day after the two nations signed a memorandum of understanding on investment cooperation valued at $65 billion. The landmark agreement aims to boost joint efforts in fields including energy, investment, finance, culture and aerospace, part of Saudi Arabia's drive to develop a growth strategy less dependent on oil. Beijing meanwhile is rolling out a massive trade and investment initiative across Central Asia and the Middle East called 'One Belt, One Road' that sees the desert kingdom as a regional linchpin. Despite the eye-catching sum noted in the memo, the actual value of such commitments is usually much smaller once projects begin...Security ties between the two have also grown significantly, with the Saudi air force deploying Chinese unmanned attack drones and the two militaries holding joint counter-terrorism exercises in western China. Chinese navy vessels have also visited the Saudi port of Jeddah as part of increasingly active maneuvers in the Gulf of Aden."
