  • ABC News：China 'outraged' by US sanctions over Russian weapons buy

    ABC News reports: "China said Friday it was 'outraged' over U.S. economic sanctions against a Chinese military agency and its director over the purchase of Russian fighter jets and surface-to-air missile equipment, and demanded the U.S. cancel the measure. Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said Beijing has lodged stern complaints with Washington over the action, which triggers a ban on entering the U.S., forbids conducting transactions with the U.S. financial system and forces the blocking of all property and interests in property within U.S. jurisdiction. The sanctions were enacted 'to further impose costs on the Russian government in response to its malign activities,' Nauert said in the statement. The U.S. will continue to 'urge all countries to curtail relationships with Russia's defense and intelligence sectors, both of which are linked to malign activities worldwide,' she added."

  • The Atlantic：China and America May Be Forging a New Economic Order
    The Atlantic reports: "As the U.S.-China competition expands across multiple domains, there are even worries that trade tensions could, over the long term, make the prospect of a military confrontation between the two more likely. Which raises the urgent question: How does this end? It's perhaps simpler, and certainly more rhetorically arresting, to predict a new Cold War, resulting in a global economy split between two power centers. But the reality of where Washington and Beijing are most likely to arrive in the next decade is far more complex. The United States and China are forging a new, uncharted gray area—not quite the economic bifurcation that characterized the U.S.-Soviet relationship at the height of the Cold War, but far from the high degree of interdependence seen in the early-21st century."
  • The Wall Street Journal：China's Antigraft Campaign Ensnares Top Energy Official, ex-Xinjiang Governor
    The Wall Street Journal reports: "China has placed under investigation the head of its national energy-planning agency—and the most prominent ethnic Uighur in the government—as part of a campaign against graft and other official misdeeds (...) Mr. Bekri is the latest in a string of senior energy regulators snared by President Xi Jinping's far-reaching anticorruption drive, launched in late 2012 to root out rampant graft, which has since expanded to target incompetence and negligence. Prosecutors said Thursday that they filed corruption charges against a former deputy to Mr. Bekri at the energy administration. Official statements don't say if cases are related."
