  • Photos emerge of components that could be for China's first home-built aircraft carrier. Naval experts I'm talking to say there's too little to go on from these pictures alone.
  • China sending 140 riot police to Liberia, all of them women. (Thanks Dirk.)
  • A hacking group accused of being operated by the Chinese army now seems to be going after industrial control systems.  
  • Massive overcapacity in China's steel sector, yet it is still expanding. 
  • Decidedly pessimistic take on China's economy from Bloomberg. 
  • Sri Lanka opens mega-port built by Chinese state-owned firm.
  • It's not enough to speak Mandarin. To converse in China requires a grasp of proverbs. (H/t Peking Duck.)
