		<title>Secretary of Defense Robert Gates doesn&#8217;t get hoped-for invite from China</title>
		<description><![CDATA[By Craig Whitlock in The  Washington Post,  June 3, 2010
Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates departed for Asia on Wednesday but had to drop a big country from his itinerary after China, still smarting over U.S. arms sales to Taiwan, gave him the cold shoulder.
Gates had been hoping for months to visit Beijing this summer, a destination that took on added importance at the Pentagon after North Korea &#8212; which sees China as its closest ally and diplomatic protector &#8212; was accused last month of sinking a South Korean warship with ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Tariq Naqash in Dawn
MUZAFFARABAD, June 5: An official body dealing with the reconstruction of Muzaffarabad has taken exception to the alleged dumping of earth into River Neelum by a Chinese construction company, something which is being committed with impunity by many other contractors for long notwithstanding its hazardous impact on environment on the one hand and life of Mangla Dam on the other.
When contacted by Dawn on Wednesday, Brig (retired) Shiraz Baig, project director of Muzaffarabad City Development Project (MCDP), confirmed that he had sought explanation from the China ...]]></description>

		<title>Chinese daily cartoon defies ban on mentioning Tiananmen Square</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Jane Macartney in the Times, Jan 3
Beijing:  A Chinese newspaper has defied a 21-year-old ban on all mention of the Tiananmen Square crackdown by publishing a cartoon that echoes one of the event’s most iconic moments.
The cartoon shows a little boy’s drawing on a blackboard of a row of tanks moving towards a stick figure. The national flag, which flies every day in front of the portrait of Mao Zedong in Tiananmen Square, flutters below. Above the tanks the boy has drawn a torch, an apparent reference to the flame ...]]></description>

The attacker, named as Zhu Jun, the 46-year-old head of security at a district post office, broke into a fourth-floor office at the court building in Yongzhou, Hunan province.
He had allegedly told his co-worker at the post office that he was taking the automatic weapon and two pistols for inspection by the city authorities before diverting to the courthouse.
All three judges in the office ...]]></description>

		<title>The Flip Side of China&#8217;s Economic Miracle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[By Wieland Wagner in DER SPIEGEL, June 2
German businessman Mohammad-Reza Mouazzen wanted to expand his heavy equipment company into China. But it didn&#8217;t take long before he realized that the country&#8217;s economic miracle has a dark underbelly.
Expo 2010 is underway in Shanghai, and the luxury bars along the Huangpu River are filled with the delegations of Western companies drinking toasts to the new partnerships they have just formed with Chinese companies. In March, this was also where the Chinese adventure of M.C.M., a construction machinery dealer from the southwestern German ...]]></description>

		<title>Terror revists Lahore, 70 killed, 90 injured</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Taliban gun men on Friday May 28, targeted two mosques of minority Ahmadis in Lahore and killed seventy people. At least 90 people were injured. The last major attack on Pakistan’s cultural capital took place in March when a double suicide bombing killed dozens. This was for the first time Ahmadis were attacked. Hitherto, militants were targeting Shia Muslims.
Ahmadis consider themselves Muslim and follow all Islamic rituals. But they were declared non-Muslims in Pakistan in 1974 and in 1984 they were legally barred from proselytising or identifying themselves as Muslims.

		<title>Beijing tries to push beyond &#8216;Made in China&#8217; status to find name-brand innovation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[By John Pomfret in The Washington Post
Quick: Think of a Chinese brand name.
Japan has Sony. Mexico has Corona. Germany has BMW. South Korea? Samsung.
And China has . . . ?
If you&#8217;re stumped, you&#8217;re not alone. And for China, that is an enormous problem.
Last year, China overtook Germany to become the world&#8217;s largest exporter, and this year it could surpass Japan as the world&#8217;s No. 2 economy. But as China gains international heft, its lack of global brands threatens its dream of becoming a superpower.
No big marquee brands means China is ...]]></description>

		<title>Clinton and Geithner Face Hurdles in China Talks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[BEIJING — China and the United States opened three days of high-level meetings here on Monday meant to broaden and deepen the ties between the world’s largest developed and developing economies.
But the opening session instead laid bare a recurring theme between Beijing and Washington: the United States came with a long wish list for China on both economic and security issues, while China mostly wants to be left alone to pursue policies that are turning it into an economic superpower.
