This is according to the description in the article not evidence of the quality required to indict anyone. It is in fact collected and investigated by people connected to a government opposed to the government of Syria, a government known to have accepted evidence that later proved to be bogus.

China will only talk to and join the TPP once they have a clearer idea of what's going on. After all, if it fails to pass through Congress, then Xi will be left holding the bag, which would weaken him at home, especially in terms of reforming the economy vis a vis the SOEs and Zhou clique remnants.
China will probably be able to live with whatever realistic TPP regime (a lot of the reforms would be a great way to break the stranglehold the SOEs have over key resources like bank loans).

China-Russia to hold East China Sea naval drills
Obama Got More Than He Asked For
BEIJING (AP) — China and Russia will hold joint naval exercises in the East China Sea later this month, amid regional tensions over island groups and airspace.
A notice on the Chinese Defense Ministry's website Thursday said the "Jointly At Sea 2014" drills would begin in late May near Shanghai.
It said the latest in a series of joint drills aimed to "deepen practical cooperation and boost their abilities to work together to respond to seaborne threats."
The East China Sea includes a string of uninhabited islands controlled by Japan but claimed by China, which regular dispatches patrol boats to confront Japanese coast guard vessels in the area.
The long-running dispute over the islands that Japan calls Senkaku and China calls Diaoyu has grown more intense since Japan, a U.S. ally, nationalized some of them in 2012.
China also sparked denouncements from Tokyo, Washington and others over its announcement in December of an air defense zone encompassing much of the airspace above the sea, including over the disputed islands. Both said they wouldn't recognize China's demands that flights passing through the area identify themselves and follow Chinese instructions, requirements Beijing has apparently not sought to enforce.
China and Russia have conducted a number of joint naval and other military exercises since 2005 within the framework of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.
The grouping that includes several Central Asian countries is dominated by Beijing and Moscow and aims to promote regional cooperation and check U.S. influence.

Many those churches are running in China like Amway business. They are making money in the name of God. Many years ago, a Korea lady (a friend of mine) told me that a Korea Church reverent, of course not free, pointed a man to be her husband. They married in a 1000 pairs mass wedding. But her husband was gay.

true that. this is Wenzhou we are talking about, everything is run like Amway overthere
this is coming at the end of a three year campaign to demolish illegal buildings. they saved the religious building for last knowing the sensitivity. when they started building the church, they probably just bribed the local city official. now with the tough anti-corruption campaign, especially if related to illegal real estate development, not even the bribed local official can save this monstrosity of poor taste.
