Center for Strategic and International Studies, June 30, 2011,  9 pages.
"Tensions have been building in the South China Sea and, if left unattended, could sour relations in the region, prompt a regional arms race, and even worse, spark a military conflict. Encompassing an area from the Singapore and Malacca Straits to the Strait of Taiwan with a total of around 1,350,000 square miles, the South China Sea contains over 250 small islands, atolls, cays, shoals, reefs and sandbars, many of which are naturally under water at high tide, and some of which are permanently submerged."

Kan, Shirley.
China's Defense White Paper.  
(CRS Report for Congress)
Washington, D.C.: Congressional Research Service, April 5, 2011, 25 pages.
"Nevertheless, the Defense White Paper did not provide a full enough picture to assess whether China poses a threat, because the White Paper was heavy on stated intentions but light on details about capabilities. Even examining just the White Paper's stated intentions, the United States and other countries might question the PRC's rhetoric about its goals given the reality of facing challenges from China.  Based on the White Paper as propaganda and policy, there are areas of convergence and divergence with U.S. goals and interests."

China's Economic Conditions.
(CRS Report for Congress)
Washington, D.C.: Congressional Research Service, June 29, 2011, 25 pages.
"China's large holdings of U.S. Treasury securities help the federal government finance its budget deficits and keep U.S. interest rates low. However, some analysts contend that China maintains a number of distortive economic policies (such as an undervalued currency and protectionist industrial policies) that undermine U.S. economic interests. They warn that efforts by the Chinese government to promote the development of indigenous innovation and technology could mean that Chinese firms will increasingly pose a 'competitive challenge' to many leading U.S. industries."

Assessing a New Landscape in Journalism.
Project for Excellence in Journalism, July 18, 2011, 3 pages.

This distinguishes them from the commercial news institutions that dominated the 20th century, whose primary sources of revenue-advertising and circulation-were self-evident."
