China May Throw Wrench Into Oil Market -- Wall Street Journal via ProQuest
(2010-12-30)China itself could back off from filling its reserve if prices keep rising. The country finished the first phase of its stockpiling after prices had collapsed from nearly $150 a barrel in late 2008 and early 2009. If crude gets too expensive in 2011, China could play the waiting game again, said Kang Wu, who tracks China energy issues at the East-West Center, a Honolulu think tank."They were pretty proud that they didn't buy when the price was above $70," Mr. Wu said. "It doesn't mean it's the policy. They buy as they see practical."Available only to subscribers of the Wall Street Journal through ProQuest.

China real reason for South Korea, Japan military pact? -- Stars and Stripes
(2011-01-11)While North Korea has set the political stage for mending ties between the two estranged countries, "South Korea-Japan (military) cooperation has more implications for China than the Korean peninsula," said Denny Roy of the East-West Center, an education and research group in Hawaii."North Korea provides the political excuse for what would otherwise be a strategic move" against China, Roy said. "It's a fig leaf."
