PLA General: US Navy Ships Have Surrounded China

PLA Major General Luo Yuan states that three U.S. ships have formed a full moon blockade against China, the USS Michigan in South Korea, the USS Ohio in India and the USS Florida in the Philippines. He further stated that the US-Korean military exercises have created a new crisis and obstacles and China should counter tit-for-tat for the hostility against China. “The assertion of sovereignty over the South China Seas must be supported by a military presence. Some countries have repeatedly violated the South China Sea code of conduct. They have a one-sided understanding of our proposal to ‘table the dispute and jointly develop the area.’ They thought we had tabled sovereignty, rather than the dispute. Joint development has now become an anti-China one way development.”

State to Restructure Publishing Houses for Overseas Expansion

The General Administration of Press and Publication will consolidate and re-structure publishing houses to establish brand name flagships for overseas expansion. The government will provide preferential treatment to the selected publishing houses with important projects, resources and initial public offering preferences. The restructuring will  start first in publishing houses in the areas of social sciences, education and technology. Cross-industry mergers and acquisitions are also encouraged. Through mid to long-term plans, the government will build export oriented priority publishing houses and promote “going out” via mergers and acquisitions and joint ventures with foreign entities.
