  • The Washington Post：US and China report progress on new North Korea sanctions
    The Washington Post reports: "The United States and China said they are making progress on a new U.N. resolution that would impose additional sanctions against North Korea following its test of an intercontinental ballistic missile. The U.S. gave China a proposed resolution several weeks ago, and U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley told reporters that China has been negotiating with its close ally Russia on possible new sanctions. 'The true test will be what they've worked out with Russia,' she said. China's U.N. Ambassador Liu Jieyi told two journalists that 'we are making progress' and 'we are working as hard as we can.' But neither Haley nor Liu would estimate how long it will take before they agree on a draft that can be circulated to the rest of the 15-member Security Council and then put to a vote. 'There is certainly light at the end of the tunnel and we are working towards that light, and I can't really tell how much time we would need,' Liu said. He wouldn't confirm that China is working with Russia on the text."
  • Business Insider：A Chinese spy ship spotted near US-Australian war games may signal an evolution in China's behavior at sea
    Business Insider reports: "A Chinese military-intelligence ship was spotted last week lurking near US and Australian ships taking part in the Talisman Saber war games. The Auxiliary General Intelligence ship from China's People's Liberation Army Navy was seen in international waters off the coast of northeast Australia, Australian defense officials confirmed to the Australian Broadcasting Company in a statement. 'The Chinese vessel has remained outside Australian territorial waters but inside the Exclusive Economic Zone in the Coral Sea,' the statement said...The Type 815 Dongdiao-class AGI ship was outfitted with advanced communications gear designed for electronic eavesdropping... The vessel appeared during the final days of the Talisman Saber military exercises, a nearly monthlong series of drills that this year involved 33,000 personnel from the US, Australian, Japanese, New Zealand, and Canadian militaries."
  • Foreign Policy：Trump's China Policy Must Look Beyond North Korea
    Foreign Policy comments: "One of the most surprising developments in the first six months of President Donald Trump's foreign policy has been the administration's posture towards China. During the campaign, then-candidate Trump called China an "economic enemy" and said that it was 'ripping us off.' In April, Trump hosted Chinese President Xi Jinping at the U.S. president's Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida, tweeting afterwards, 'goodwill and friendship was formed, but only time will tell on trade.' Last week, as the administration's 100-day period to engage the Chinese on trade disputes wound down with little to show for it, the Trump team's rhetoric was less positive, but still restrained... With the Chinese having done little to assist on North Korea and also having given little ground in trade talks with the administration, the president appears to be moving towards a pressure track. But even as he does so, the administration seems stuck in a narrow mindset, pursuing that which can be extracted from Beijing, instead of embracing a long-term, strategic view of the China challenge... By continuing to view U.S.-China relations through the lens of North Korea, the administration invites doubts about whether it is playing the long game with Beijing or the geopolitical equivalent of tic-tac-toe... In the grand scheme of things, Kim's antics are a distraction from the real question that will dominate geopolitics in the 21st century: Will a rising China succeed in its efforts to evict the United States from the Asia-Pacific region?"
