THE ESSENTIAL EIGHT
1. China warns U.S. against fresh naval patrols in South China Sea | Reuters “We urge the U.S. not to take any actions that challenge China’s sovereignty and security,” Geng told a regular news briefing on Wednesday. The United States last conducted a freedom of navigation operation in the area in October, when it sailed the guided-missile destroyer USS Decatur near the Paracel Islands and within waters claimed by China.

Related: China considering making foreign submersibles travel on surface | Reuters The draft revisions, reported by the official China News Service late on Tuesday, make no direct mention of the South China Sea. “Foreign submersibles, passing though territorial waters of the People’s Republic of China, should travel on the surface, raise their national flag, and report to Chinese maritime management administrations,” the news service cited the draft revision as saying, without giving details.
2. EU preparing early China summit in message to Trump – sources | Reuters The European Union is preparing an early summit with China in April or May in Brussels to promote free trade and international cooperation in the face of a more protectionist and inward-looking Washington, three EU officials said. China and the EU hold a summit every year, usually in July, and a date has yet to be fixed formally for 2017. One of the officials said Beijing had requested it to take place as early as possible. // Comment: Xi sees lots of opportunity from Trump. He only decided to go to Davos after Trump elected, PRC decided to hold an OBOR conference, this summit
Related: EU capitals seek stronger right of veto on Chinese takeovers-FT Germany, France and Italy have called on Brussels to grant them a right of veto over Chinese high-tech takeovers, in a sign of the growing protectionist backlash against Chinese investment in Europe’s most sensitive industries.
3. China death toll from bird flu soars to 79 in January | South China Morning Post January’s total fatalities from the virus far surpass the numbers for the same month over the past three years
4. China’s #2 Circuit Court “Nine” & criminal petitions | Supreme People’s Court Monitor when analyzing what Chinese courts do and how they operate, moving away from grand theory and into the specifics of what they do provides (to this foreign observer and I trust Chinese ones as well) more nuanced insights. It helps to understand better what the circuit courts are doing, how Chinese courts operate, how Chinese judges think, and what practical solutions Chinese judges evolve in the context of their political, legal and social environment. What exemplifies this is a report that the #2 Circuit Court did on petitioning appeals related to criminal cases (第二巡回法庭刑事申诉来访情况分析报告). The report concerns petitions for retrial made under the Criminal Procedure Law’s trial supervision procedure.
5. Chinese students in the US are using “inclusion” and “diversity” to oppose a Dalai Lama graduation speech — Quartz There’s also suspicion among some academics that CSSA, which represents students at UCSD and dozens of other US universities, sometimes serves as a conduit for Chinese consulates to promulgate Communist Party orthodoxy on overseas campuses. Last week, an official at the Chinese embassy in London reportedly phoned Durham University’s debate society, urging it to cancel an appearance by Anastasia Lin, a Chinese-Canadian beauty queen and vocal human rights activist. The school’s CSSA issued a statement also condemning Lin’s appearance. In its initial statement opposing the Dalai Lama’s appearance, UCSD’s CSSA wrote that it had “been in contact with the People’s Republic of China Consulate General in Los Angeles at the earliest opportunity since the matter arose,” and “was waiting for the advice of the Consulate General.” Li tells Quartz that this part of the letter is “a mistake.” // It was certainly a mistake to announce they had reached out the consulate for instructions…Wonder if the FBI is investigating these students’ links to the CCP.

6. The 13th Five-Year Plan | U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission Report China is an important market for U.S. firms, but policies outlined in the 13th Five-Year Plan seek to create new Chinese competitors that will be able to challenge U.S. companies abroad while slowly closing market opportunities in China for U.S. and other foreign firms in important high-tech sectors such as biopharmaceuticals, robotics, and aviation. This staff report analyzes the 13th Five-Year Plan, the Chinese government’s most important strategy to address its economic, social, and environmental challenges over the next five years, focusing on key national targets (including subsequently announced localization and innovation targets), market access commitments, and its implications for the U.S. employment, innovation, and economic growth.
7. China urges Japan to take on right historical view in education – Xinhua Japan’s education ministry on Tuesday released a draft of new curriculum guidelines which require elementary and junior high schools to teach that China’s Diaoyu Islands and a group of disputed islands currently under the control of the Republic of Korea, are “inherent” territory of Japan. 日本中小学课改将钓鱼岛篡改为“日固有领土”
Related: Taiwan protests over Japan’s claim to Diaoyutai in revised textbook guidelines | Taiwan News Japan’s education ministry announced a plan on Tuesday that lists the contested Diaoyutai (釣魚台), known as the Senkaku (尖閣列島) in Japan, as an “inherent territory” of Japan in its revised curriculum guideline designed for elementary and junior high school students. Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in Japan lodged a formal protest against the claim and reiterated Taiwan’s sovereignty over the archipelago.
8. PRC Religious Policy: Serving the Gods of the CCP | China Leadership Monitor – Jessica Batke Beijing’s update of national-level religious regulations is part and parcel of a larger governance effort. This effort is designed to construct a latticework of legislation for managing citizens’ activities and minimizing international influences. If these regulations are implemented uniformly—which is always a big if in the PRC—in some cases they will offer greater certainty about what is allowed under the law. In others, they will restrict activities that previously had not been clearly regulated. Beijing’s negotiations with the Vatican over bishop ordinations reflect the same desires: to cement the party’s role in defining the permissible in Chinese religious life, to check foreign influence, and to continue to regularize social-management efforts. // Comment: Ms. Batke recently left the State Department, now at Chinafile. Big gain for ChinaFile
BUSINESS, ECONOMY AND TRADE
China’s New Credit Surges to Record in January – Caixin Global Several bankers have told Caixin that since mid-January, the central bank has been issuing informal directives to both large state-owned banks and smaller commercial lenders, urging them to rein in credit. But with demand for credit still strong, banks have been using a range of off-balance sheet lending to funnel money through the shadow banking sectors. “The central bank’s verbal directives can control the loans recorded on banks’ balance sheets, but they can’t really keep total social financing in check,” said Huang Jie, a banking industry analyst with China International Capital Corp. (CICC), one of the country’s top investment banks.
China’s Holdings of Treasuries Dropped in 2016 by Most on Record – Bloomberg A monthly Treasury Department report released in Washington on Wednesday showed China held $1.06 trillion in U.S. government bonds, notes and bills in December, up $9.1 billion from November but down $188 billion from a year earlier. It was the first monthly increase since May.
U.S. Steel Withdraws Hacking Claim Against Chinese Rival – WSJ Pittsburgh-based U.S. Steel on Wednesday said that it will continue pressing claims on alleged antitrust violations in China and third-country shipment to avoid tariffs for various steel products, and that it reserves the right to refile charges of cybertheft. But the move Wednesday to drop the intellectual property claim, at least for now, is a setback in a case that trade lawyers hoped would have set a precedent.
Trump’s Trade Pick Needs Waiver Over Work for China and Brazil – Bloomberg Robert Lighthizer, Trump’s pick as U.S. Trade Representative, represented an entity controlled by the government of China in a trade dispute with the U.S. in 1991, according to filings with the U.S. International Trade Commission. He also worked on behalf of Brazil in 1985, according to disclosures filed with the Justice Department required by the Foreign Agents Registration Act.
What’s in the short leash on China’s insurers – risk or politics? | South China Morning Post Talk that China’s insurance regulator Xiang Junbo may be under investigation is, however, different. It’s not only because he decides who gets to sell life insurance in China – the most juicy business in the country – but also because of the deep involvement of political heavyweights in the industry. The rumour, which appeared on Friday in Ming Jing News – a Chinese-language magazine and website that trades in salacious gossip and rumours about Communist Party cadres – has not received official comment by the insurance regulator. Questions faxed to the regulator’s Beijing office have received no reply.
Why inequality in America is worse than it is in China-CNBC In a paper published by the National Bureau of Economic Research, economists Facundo Alvaredo, Lucas Chancel, Thomas Piketty, Emmanuel Saez and Gabriel Zucman found that inequality in both the U.S. and China has grown rapidly over the past few decades. In China, the top 1 percent earned 13 percent of personal income in 2015 — double their share in the 1980s. In the U.S., the top 1 percent earned 20 percent of income. That’s also roughly double the level from the 1980s.
Bitcoin trade plunges in China after tighter regulation – People’s Daily Online BTCChina, Huobi and OKCoin, the country’s three major Bitcoin trading platforms, have seen their daily transaction volume tumble from around 20,000 last week to around 6,000 at Tuesday’s close

Didi Drivers Forced to Live in Shanty Town After China Crackdown – Bloomberg In Beijing and other major cities, non-resident drivers are now banned. That’s left many struggling to pay off loans they’d taken out to buy cars.
U.S. Firms in China See Chance for Reset on Market Access – WSJ European companies have also hardened their position. “We stayed away from the ‘R’ word for a long time,” said Jörg Wuttke, president of the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China, noting that the body used the term “reciprocity” in a document for the first time after German Chancellor Angela Merkel mentioned it in talks with Chinese officials last year.
POLITICS AND LAW
Former senior Chinese official jailed for 15 years for graft | Reuters Zhou Benshun was the top official of Hebei province, which surrounds Beijing and is China’s most important steel producer.

Missing tycoon Xiao Jianhua had diplomatic passport from Caribbean state | South China Morning Post Missing mainland billionaire Xiao Jianhua received a diplomatic passport from Antigua and Barbuda just days before President Xi Jinping and Premier Li Keqiang met the prime minister of the tiny Caribbean nation in Beijing. A copy of the passport – which was issued on August 8, 2014, and expired on the same date in 2016 – was passed to the South China Morning Post by a senior Antiguan diplomat, who said the 45-year-old tycoon was appointed as an “ambassador-at-large” for the country because of his extensive network.

Chinese Views on South Korea’s Deployment of THAAD | China Leadership Monitor-Michael Swaine The THAAAD decision worsens an existing strong sense of Chinese resentment against alleged efforts by the U.S. to peer deep into China from nearby areas, extracting sensitive military information in order to degrade China’s security. More importantly, for most Chinese, the THAAD deployment decision also represents a betrayal by South Korea and a related strengthening of Washington’s overall effort to counter or contain China. // Comment: The faster the US gets this deployed the better

The new rules would introduce a direct licensing regime for agents that set up and manage the paperwork for thousands of trusts and “letter box” shell companies that have no real business operations. The FSTB says it is concerned that the system may be used by criminals to conceal and launder illicit proceeds.
