After several previous participations, China “disinvited” from participation in this year’s US-organized RIMPAC naval exercise in Hawaii. Militarization of South China Sea islets cited as main cause. A significant symbolic step backward, but so was the landing of heavy bombers on China’s airfield on Woody Island.
The “latest” on the ZTE saga. Also this: https://tinyurl.com/y9f9qmzx . And THIS: https://www.politico.com/story/2018/05/25/trump-administration-congress-zte-deal-573430

The very talented Alec Ash with a review essay on science fiction in the China of today, and in the China of yore.
