China to make east Taiwan Strait drills ‘regular’ – media
ECNS (Chinese official English news service)
(W.E. Talk) Wolfram Elsner: Why has China found a way to peaceful rise, without repeating the previous hegemonic conflicts? (longish but worth a read. TL/dnr: The West is adversely affected by a colonial mindset, a short civilizational history in comparison with the antiquity of Chinese civilization, and a general lack of knowledge of the rest of the world.)
