People's Republic of China (PRC) : News & Discussions

That's the price of copying.
What's the price for plying opium and fighting 3 wars over it? Brekshit or having a hustler for a PM with a logjam in a suspended parliament and a dinosaur for the opposition leader or all of these!

Xi has demanded loyalty from Chinese journalists before. In 2016, he told staff at three state-run news outlets in Beijing that they were “the propaganda fronts and must have the party as their family name”. ( )

He's rubbing their nose into the ground. It's not a good sign . The Chinese are a sneaky lot. They'd spring upon you when you least expect it.

Especially if you're a dog or cat. With the simultaneous rise of IS and China, the world is a less safe place for quadrupeds.
 
UPDATE 1-Pompeo urges world to resist China's demands to repatriate ethnic Uighurs

UPDATE 1-Pompeo urges world to resist China's demands to repatriate ethnic Uighurs

NEW YORK, Sept 22 (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Sunday called on all countries to resist China's demands to repatriate ethnic Uighurs, saying Beijing's campaign in the western Chinese region of Xinjiang was an "attempt to erase its own citizens."

U.N. experts and activists say at least 1 million Uighurs, and members of other largely Muslim minority groups, have been detained in camps in the remote Xinjiang region.

"Further on the subject of terrorism, I want to make clear that China’s repressive campaign in Xinjiang is not about terrorism. It’s about China’s attempt to erase its own citizens. ...We call on all countries to resist China’s demands to repatriate the Uighurs," he told reporters.
 
ASEAN Wants a U.S. Counterbalance to Chinese Regional Ambitions

Reflecting on the future of Sino-American competition in Asia, the late Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yewargued that there is a widely “held consensus that the U.S. presence in the region should be sustained,” because “military presence does not need to be used to be useful,” and that American “presence [alone] makes a difference and makes for peace and stability in the region.” An enlightened realist, Lee saw this formula most relevant in the case of the South China Sea disputes, since “China will not let an international court arbitrate territorial disputes in the South China Sea”—a claim that proved prophetic, when China categoricallyrejected the Arbitral Tribunal award at The Hague years later.

For the Singaporean leader, the best antidote to Chinese revanchist instincts and defiance of international law is “the [continued] presence of U.S. firepower in the Asia-Pacific” so that the “[United Nations] Law of the Sea [will] prevail.” In short, he saw international law effect so long as it’s anchored by America’s naval prowess. And it’s precisely within this context, namely Southeast Asian nations’ desire for an American counterbalance to Chinese hegemonic ambitions, that one should understand the relevance of the inauguralASEAN-U.S. Maritime Exercise (AUMX) in early-September. The five-days-long exercise covered a vast expanse of waters, stretching from the Sattahip naval base in Chonburi province in Gulf of Tonkin to Cape Cà Mau on the Cà Mau Peninsula in Vietnam.

Is there any kind of trade off and agreement reached with China for border disputes ahead of Xi visit.?
