China’s Role as Lender Alters Obama’s Visit

When President Obama visits China for the first time on Sunday, he will, in many ways, be assuming the role of profligate spender coming to pay his respects to his banker. That stark fact — China is the largest foreign lender to the United States — has changed the core of the relationship between the United States and the only country with a reasonable chance of challenging its status as the world’s sole superpower. The result: unlike his immediate predecessors, who publicly pushed and prodded China to follow the Western model and become more open politically and economically, Mr. Obama will be spending less time exhorting Beijing and more time reassuring it. But the Chinese were not particularly interested in the public option or universal care for all Americans.  Obama has struck a mollifying note with China. obama is now working on something to fix this major problem.

China executes 9 for role in Xinjiang riots

Reporting from Beijing – China has executed nine people for their participation in the country’s worst ethnic rioting in decades.  The report did not disclose the identity of those executed or the date the sentence was carried out, but it is presumed that most of those executed were Uighurs. Once the dominant ethnic group in China’s Xinjiang region, Uighurs were blamed for the July 5 riots in Urumqi in which 197 people, mostly Han Chinese, were killed and 1,600 injured. In July more riots grew out of what was initially billed as a peaceful demonstration by Uighurs demanding justice over the killing of two Uighur men the previous month in a factory brawl in southeastern China. Protesters degenerated into mob violence, with young men setting fires, looting and hitting people with bricks and sticks after yanking them from cars and buses.

Iran’s Politics Stand in the Way of a Nuclear Deal

This article was based on Cairo.  Iran’s leadership has once again equivocated after agreeing to a deal that would ease its nuclear standoff with the West. Tehran has yet to state publicly why it objects to the deal, which has not publicity announced why this happened. It would ship its low-enriched uranium out of the country for additional processing and eventual return as fuel rods for a civilian reactor.  many people like experts in Iran say that nature of the debate in Iran over the proposed nuclear deal suggests that the deep divisions cemented by the summer’s disputed. Which means health problems can happen to others if the nuclear deal doesnt work well. 

This effects me and my community a lot because it shows me how much offer in this community in Iran has to put in its government. The governments problem with the nuclear deal is causing a bad moment to millions and millions of people. And this is putting a lot of pressure to the people.
