  • Nothing new here, but it's a brilliant summary: an Economist video which looks at whether China can curb its carbon emissions.
  • Also on pollution: business magazine Caixin looks at China's urban waste problem.
  • How Chinese media and internet censorship actually work.
  • On Little Red Blog, Michael Sainsbury writes: 'a short video emerged yesterday of prominent activist lawyer Xu Zhiyong speaking, handcuffed, in his place of detention. It was filmed secretly and at enormous personal risk to the person or persons who smuggled it out.' Sainsbury has translated part of what the lawyer said, and here's the original video.
  • China in the 70s: 'If you were a child of the rationing system, sooner or later you learned that it wasn’t just food that was rationed. So was hope, dignity, comfort, love.'
  • Recent Japan-US military exercises are a warning to China and a demonstration of Japan's growing amphibious capabilities.
  • The FT asks Michael Sandel, author of What Money Can't Buy: The Moral Limits of Markets, which countries are least receptive to his concerns about market fundamentalism: 'China and the US – no question'.
