  • The New York Times reports: "To the long list of reproachful replies to President Trump's social media commentary, add an editorial from a Chinese state media outlet, which called his recent tweets on China "messages from some alternative universe." The China Daily... said in the editorial published late Thursday that presidential tweets accusing China of hacking Hillary Clinton's emails were an effort to "divert public attention from the troubles the White House has become mired in." Chinese state media have generally been reticent about personally criticizing Mr. Trump over growing frictions between the two countries, including the trade war. But in recent days, China's English-language state media outlets, which are aimed at overseas audiences, have grown more strident in their mockery of the president and his policies."
  • CNBC reports: "Just weeks after running into trouble with China's content regulators over the release of a highly anticipated video game, tech giant Tencent is in government crosshairs once again. On Thursday, the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China released a note on its plan to curb the increasing rise of eye problems among the country's youth population. It noted that myopia was becoming a "very severe" issue that could lead to big problems for the country in the future. Some of the causes the document attributes to the rising trend of short-sightedness in Chinese youths include a heavy study load, the proliferation of mobile phones and other electronic devices, as well as a lack of outdoor activity and exercise."
  • Bloomberg reports: "As calls grow in the U.S. and Europe to pressure China to halt alleged human-rights abuses against its Muslim minority, Beijing has so far escaped any serious criticism from governments across the Islamic world. Almost three weeks after a United Nations official cited "credible reports" that the country was holding as many as 1 million Turkic-speaking Uighurs in "re-education" camps, governments in Muslim-majority countries have issued no notable statements on the issue. The silence became more pronounced this week after a bipartisan group of U.S. lawmakers... led by Senator Marco Rubio of Florida and Representative Chris Smith of New Jersey...urged sanctions against senior Chinese officials... in a letter to Secretary of State Michael Pompeo and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin. They joined European Union officials who have previously expressed concern about the camps in Xinjiang."
