  • CNN：US expands China health alert after acoustic incident
    CNN reports: "The US State Department on Friday issued an expanded health alert for China over concerns for the safety of US personnel in the country following reports of a series of mysterious acoustic incidents. A health alert was first issued for Guangzhou on May 23 after a US employee stationed in the southern Chinese city was diagnosed with a mild brain injury after complaining of unexplained sonic phenomena. The latest alert is countrywide. On Wednesday, the State Department said it had sent an unspecified number of US personnel stationed in China back to the United States for further medical testing. In the alert, the State Department compared the employee's injuries to those suffered by US personnel and their families in Cuba between 2016 and 2017."
  • CNBC：Going it alone: China government orders farmers to increase soybean acreage
    CNBC reports: "The agriculture department of Henan, which lies about 450 miles southwest of Beijing, said on its website Wednesday it will "actively guide" farmers to more than double their soybean acreage. "China's policy in 2017 had shifted toward encouraging soybean acreage [for 2018] instead of corn," said Rich Nelson, director of research at Allendale, an agricultural market research and trading firm. In the meantime, China's agriculture ministry forecast in May that the country will cut its imports of soybeans in the 2018-2019 marketing year for the first time in 15 years."
  • CNN：China must beware of summit's unintended consequences
    CNN reports: "If Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un make peace and agree to denuclearize the Korean Peninsula in their Singapore summit, the benefits would be felt across the region, not least in China, or so conventional wisdom has it. Beijing would presumably see the threat of war in a bordering country almost disappear, trade sanctions lifted and a longtime ally in Pyongyang enter a new era of stability. Not so fast, Asia analysts say. Beware the law of unintended consequences. "Stability on the (Korean) Peninsula might mean the US is freer to pursue strategic competition with China than it is now," said Corey Wallace, an Asian security analyst at Freie University in Berlin."
