  • The Washington Post：Panama president cheers China's 'Belt and Road' initiative
    The Washington Post reports, "Panama sees a 'big opportunity' in China's massive 'Belt and Road' infrastructure initiative, President Juan Carlos Varela said Tuesday during a visit to Hong Kong amid ambitious plans and proposals for Chinese-built bridges and rail lines. Varela said the initiative, which aims to weave a network of ports, bridges and power plants linking China with Africa, Europe and beyond, is a chance to exploit Panama's potential as a link between Asia and the Americas. 'The Belt and Road is all about connectivity and Panama is one of the most connected countries in the region. We have a very important airport, the Panama Canal and also the ports,' Varela told reporters. 'So Panama is going to be part of that initiative because we see a big opportunity to connect Asia and America to Panama.'"
  • The Washington Post：Taiwan protests China jets crossing center of Taiwan Strait
    The Washington Post reports, "Taiwan said Monday its planes warned off Chinese military aircraft that crossed the center line in the Taiwan Strait, and called China's move a provocation that seeks to alter the status quo in the waterway dividing the island from mainland China. Taiwan's defense ministry said a pair of Chinese J-11 jet fighters crossed the line at around 11 a.m. Sunday and entered the island's southwestern airspace. It said Taiwan scrambled jets to warn off the Chinese planes, which came within about 185 kilometers (115 miles) of Taiwan. 'Yesterday, Chinese military aircraft provoked us by violating the tacit agreement by crossing the median line of the Taiwan Strait. They backed to the west side of the median line after warnings by our Air Force,' Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen said in remarks at a military awards ceremony."
  • NPR：China To Close Loophole On Fentanyl After U.S. Calls For Opioid Action
    NPR reports, "China has announced that all variants of fentanyl will be treated as controlled substances, after Washington urged Beijing to stop fueling the opioid epidemic in the United States. Authorities in China already regulate 25 variants of fentanyl, a synthetic opioid linked to thousands of drug overdose deaths in the U.S. But some manufacturers in China, seeking to evade controls, have introduced slight changes to the molecular structure of their drugs, giving them the legal loophole to manufacture and export before the government can assess the products for safety and medical use. The decision to regulate all fentanyl-related drugs as controlled substances 'puts a wider array of substances under regulation,' Liu Yuejin, an official of China's National Narcotics Control Commission, said at a press conference in on Monday. The regulation will take effect May 1."
