  • The New York Times：Giving In to China, U.S. Airlines Drop Taiwan (in Name at Least)
    The New York Times reports: "You can book a ticket to Taipei from New York on a major American airline. Just don't ask them which country you are going to. Bowing to pressure from China, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines and United Airlines began to remove references to Taiwan, of which Taipei is the capital city, as a separate country from their websites Wednesday. American, which was the first to make the switch, listed Taipei Taoyuan International Airport, the city's main airport, as a destination for travelers looking to book a flight on its website, with no reference to Taiwan. Delta listed only Taipei and the code for the city's airports."
  • CNN：Chinese state pushes back against widespread outrage over vaccine crisis
    CNN reports: "The Chinese government is turning to censorship and appeals for calm, amid mounting public anger following revelations earlier this week that one of the country's largest vaccine makers had violated safety standards. Furor about the faulty vaccines, an estimated 250,000 of which may have been administrated to children, has continued to dominate Chinese social media, further eroding public trust in essential services. There are also suggestions the scandal could affect China's standing overseas as the country tries to position itself as major player in the global pharmaceutical industry."
  • The New York Times：China Said to Quickly Withdraw Approval for New Facebook Venture
    The New York Times reports: "For Facebook, success in China was brief. Very brief. For several hours, a Chinese government database showed that Facebook had gained approval to open a subsidiary in the eastern province of Zhejiang. Facebook said it would use the company to set up an innovation hub there. Then the registration disappeared, and references to the subsidiary were partly censored in Chinese media. Now the approval has been withdrawn... While the about-face does not definitively end Facebook's chances of establishing the company, it makes success very unlikely... The decision to take down the approval came after a disagreement between officials in Zhejiang and the national internet regulator, the Cyberspace Administration of China, which was angry that it had not been consulted more closely."
