Beijing restrictions expand ahead of anniversary; Regions across China suffer severe flooding​



Security measures for the Chinese Communist Party’s 100th anniversary are ramping up. Now, they’re even affecting kitchen cutlery. Shoppers looking to buy new kitchen knives must first register a buyer ID, and then have their purchases delivered. #SevereFloods soak provinces across China. And there’s little hope that the surge will subside anytime soon. Cheap Chinese face masks — reportedly forcing American companies toward the brink of bankruptcy. Out of the world’s most powerful democracies, Italy appeared to keep the closest ties with China. But not any more. And, new action to block Beijing’s threat in the #SouthChinaSea. The U.S. and Indonesia are teaming up to build a new maritime training center there.
