Not sure this fits here...Seems the UN is handling the names of dissidents to China. Kind of scary news.

I have been following this issue for the last few days.

Am a bit puzzled by the timing ... good or bad ... did they really need all of this dick waving during the Two Meetings / Covid-19 / Trade War?

Historically, border issues / erosion has been going on for decades and there has never been any strong Indian action or any international attention. The Indian conspiracy theory is that a weak and unsupported India is what everyone needed for the last few decades, as China had to prosper at all costs.

Should be interesting to see if this can be de-escalated...

US Navy sends THREE aircraft carriers to the South China Sea. Seems they're starting to be concerned.

Whilst some may say that a country has every right to hand out a sentence like this for such serious crimes what doesn’t help China’s case is that he hasn’t been heard from since 2013!!

China upset with the the US again.

China’s foreign ministry said in a statement that the act “rudely interferes in China’s internal affairs”, and urged the US to “immediately correct its mistakes”.

China states the world doesn't understand how authoritarianism and free market capitalism don't need two systems and can co-exist with no effect on each other.

Who will write critical reports of Chinese companies whilst talking to SOE's of other countries in the same field? Sounds like collusion.
