China: A major perpetrator of cyber-espionage

"China is known to be the major perpetrator of cyber-espionage, and Huawei and ZTE failed to alleviate serious concerns throughout this important investigation. American businesses should use other vendors."

China: complaints on US chicken dumping justified

BEIJING (AFP) – China said Sunday it had grounds to start a formal anti-dumping and anti-subsidy investigation into American chicken meat imports, as tensions persist following President Hu Jintao's visit to the US.

A recent Washington Post editorial opposed Chinese tire sanctions.
