Today we’ve got the full range of China stories. From the environment to legal reform, IP infringement to nationalism and violence, we’ve got a little of everything.
Guardian: Japanese flag torn from ambassador’s car in Beijing — The juvenile antics of the South China Sea dispute are ongoing, with yet another genius move by a “patriot” here in Beijing. Lovely. Most amusing, the Global Times even came up with a quick Op/Ed saying how stupid this vandalism was. I’m shocked.
The Diplomat: Breaking the Ice: China’s Emerging Arctic Strategy — The next frontier. Hopefully there won’t be stupid territorial claims, but I wouldn’t bet on it.
Global Times: Hebei lake sees fish decimated due to ‘lack of oxygen’ — Fishermen vs. local government on what actually caused this. Sounds to me like it was either direct (dumping) or indirect (runoff) pollution. Either way, it highlights pollution enforcement problems.
China Daily: Draft law stresses govt role in environmental protection — More federalism tensions at play here.
Minxin Pei: China in the Eye of the Beholder — Have Westerners been hoodwinked by Chinese leaders as to the latter’s professionalism and competence?
Marbridge: Youku Tudou Faces Insider Trading Probe — Not exactly a surprise. Mega-high profile China M&A deal. Yeah, I’d expect some insider trading.
CBS News: China AIDS patients topple gate of gov’t office — More health care issues and a dispute with a local government. As I said, we’re covering all the bases here today.
Wall Street Journal: Warning from China Film Watchdog: Not Enough ‘Co’ in Co-Productions — China is worried that foreign film studios are taking advantage of the co-production regime.
China Daily: Trademark speculators bet on Olympic Games — Your daily dose of IP infringement, specifically trademark squatting.
Guardian: Domain name disputes hit record high as brands defend virtual shop doorways — While the Olympics and sports have been motivating trademark squatters, e-commerce has done the same thing for cybersquatters.
