Don’t Trust a Chicken Nugget That’s Visited China

China’s poultry processors have no intention of meeting U.S. food-safety standards. That may explain why the U.S. Department of Agriculture waited until just before the long weekend to announce that it had ended a ban on Chinese chicken imports.

 

Sober Day Dawns for China’s Baijiu Distillers

Makers of the Nation’s Favorite Spirits Are Waking up to a Business Slowdown After a Decade of Growth

Distillers of China’s most popular spirits, baijiu, are sobering up to a business slowdown and tight financing after a decade of outstanding growth.

Sales are off and company market values have fallen over the past year, prompting some investors to cash in their bets on minor and big-name distillers alike.

Industry leaders such as Tuopai Shede Wine Co., Kweichow Moutai Co. Ltd., and Luzhou Laojiao Co. attracted plenty of investors by racking up huge profits for four years straight starting in 2008.

Threading the Needle: Proposals for U.S. and Chinese Actions on Arms Sales to Taiwan

The sale of U.S. arms to Taiwan has been an enduring source of friction between the United States and China. To China, Taiwan is a “core” interest. Though the United States publicly committed itself, through the August 17, 1982 Joint Communique with China, to a gradual reduction of its sales of arms to Taiwan with the goal of advancing an unspecified “final resolution” of the matter, China claims that, in reality, the United States has continued to sell arms to Taiwan in a manner that has violated the letter and spirit of the 1982 Communique. China has consistently viewed these sales as a profound challenge to what it regards as its juridical sovereignty over Taiwan. This report is part of an ongoing effort by the EastWest Institute to explore ways in which the United States and China can manage their differences over U.S. arms sales to Taiwan in a way that is less disruptive to the bilateral relationship—especially the military-to-military relationship—and that conforms to U.S. law and policy, respects China’s legitimate concerns, and maintains or enhances Taiwan’s net security position.

What Are Chinese Attitudes Toward a U.S. Strike in Syria?

A ChinaFile Conversation

Chen Weihua:

Chinese truly believe that there is no military solution to the Syrian crisis. On the contrary, a U.S. air strike would only worsen the situation there. Chinese have seen many failures of U.S. intervention in the Middle East in the past decade.

The U.S. clearly is adopting a double standard in dealing with countries in the Middle East, protecting the friendly dictators while trying to undermine the unfriendly ones.
